A Sweet Guide to Nutella-filled Desserts and Snacks

Share

The year 1964 was a historic year for many. For instance, Muhamad Ali bagged the heavyweight World Championship and was perceived as one of the greatest boxers of all time. Locally, the Republic Act No. 4166 which changed the date of Philippine Independence Day from July 4 to June 12, was signed into law.

However, those are not the only events that transpired during that time. Among many others, it was actually during this year when the first heaven-sent Nutella jar came into existence.

The story of how Nutella came to be was all rooted in Pietro Ferrero’s (a pastry chef and the founder of the Ferrero Group) compassion for others. Every day, he would notice that workers used to bring bread, tomatoes, and cheese as their meals.

From there, he had a brilliant idea of making a sweet yet inexpensive treat to pair with bread that would not just be a crowd favorite among his employees but also among children.

He discovered the perfect mix of cocoa and hazelnut which turned out to be delicious with bread and it changed the game for many people. Nowadays, it’s the star of the show for different pastries and desserts all over the world.

Already craving for a Nutella treat? Don’t you worry, we’re here to help you satiate your sweet tooth with these 5 Nutella snacks that you can delight in. Read on.


Catch the sweet surprise found in the Nutella Crinkle


When you’re out and about and you’re longing for the kind of sweetness that comes from a good old cookie, one of your options would have to be Mo’ Cookies. Popular for their #biggerthanyourpalm cookie selection, this joint has been selling classic cookie flavors such as Chocolate Chip and one-of-a-kind flavors like South Cotabato Chocolate Fudge and Naked Oatmeal.

Each cookie is baked to provide a chewy texture with a dense yet soft and moist profile.

Cookies have been the highlight of Mo’ Cookies, but their Nutella Crinkle is a treat that you should not overlook. This crinkle is unlike any other crinkle as its batter is made with luscious dark chocolate, and finished and covered with confectioners' sugar.

We haven’t reached the best part yet — it is stuffed with the irresistible Nutella right smack in the middle of the crinkle. The oozing hazelnut taste definitely makes this snack a must-try.


Have a Banana Nutella Taco for your well-deserved dessert


Pancake House is one of the no-fail top-of-mind restaurants when it comes to all-day breakfast and comfort food. As its name suggests, it specializes in a wide variety of pancakes and even waffles crafted with different fillings and toppings to suit everyone’s preferences.

It also serves classic Filipino plates such as Beef Tapa and Daing na Bangus and go-to eats such as its famous Pan Chicken and Spaghetti with Meat Sauce.

Aside from the aforementioned dishes, Pancake House is also adored because of its Best Taco in Town (trust us, it really is the best in town!). Its colorful ensemble consists of the usual taco ingredients such as ground beef, onions, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and their special salsa. Not only is it mouthwatering and Instagrammable, but it’s actually worth the hype with the burst of flavor you get in every bite.

But what if we tell you that Pancake House’s savory taco has a sweet twist to it? Cap your meal off or sate your afternoon snack appetite by ordering the Banana Nutella Taco. This dessert taco still has the crispiness of the taco that we love but much yummier, especially with the rich hazelnut taste and sweet slices of banana it now contains.

Indeed, this is not the traditional Mexican-style tacos we all grew up with, but it’s definitely a dish that we cannot miss.
