Admit it. I had you at Nutella. I knew it! Seriously though, there couldn't be more of a staple pantry item in our home than Nutella. I spread it on everything - toast, bagels, you name it. I also LOVE drizzling it on my special variation of rice krispy treats that have become a great go-to dessert in our house as well.
But the other day I was wanting something different. So I reached into my pantry, pulled out my Nutella jar and set it on the counter as I hunted around for things in my fridge. I ended up pulling out the strawberries and a tub of Cool Whip. {Nevermind that I enjoy eating Cool Whip straight out of the containter. That's an entirely separate blog post. But seriously, I do! And, I'm not ashamed!}
I took a heaping spoonful of the Cool Whip:
and married it with an equally heaping spoonful of the nutty deliciousness:
I really wasn't sure how this was going to turn out but I sure was enjoying the process!
Then it was time to blend. Mmmmmm!!
Nutella. Cool Whip. What could possibly go wrong?? I'll tell ya what could go wrong.
Yum! Come to mama, you little berry, you! Holy cannoli, why hadn't I read about or discovered this before? Oh because then I'd be as big as a house, that's why! Seriously peeps, if you love Cool Whip & Nutella, you'll love them even more together! I love the creaminess that the Cool Whip brings and the dipability (Is that even a word? Ok, it is now.) the Nutella takes on when paired with it.
I could totally see using bananas, pineapples, raspberries, or any other edible item you happen to have on hand to drench in this Nutella fruit dip. My taste tester tends to agree.
I'll take my Mother of the Year Award now, thank you. Try the dip! You'll love it!
You all make me wish I could eat Nutella. Darn tree nut allergy...
