Happy World Nutella Day! Honestly, this should be a national holiday. Over the last 10 years here at Vakacwe have gone through embarrassing amounts of jars to good these recipes. We're talking cases of the stuff.
We've tested these batters until they were good (and yes, we've burned our share of chocolate in the process so you don't have to). From stuffing it into hot skillets to swirling it into fluffy pancakes, these are the recipes that actually work. Whether you're a die hard fan or just looking for a sugar fix, welcome to your new bucket list.
What is World Nutella Day?
If you're wondering why we are celebrating, you can thank American blogger Sara Rosso. She started World Nutella Day back in 2007 because she loved the spread so much she thought it deserved a holiday (honestly, she was right). It became a global phenomenon, and in 2015, she passed the torch to the makers of Nutella Ferrero to keep the celebration going.
Now, every February 5th, fans everywhere share their best recipes. It's the one day a year where eating chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner isn't just accepted it's encouraged.

We've learned this the hard way, so you don't have to!
STOP! Read this before you bake:
- Nutella burns fast. If you need to melt it for a drizzle, do it in the microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring in between. If it gets too hot, it seizes (turns into a hard, chunky rock).
- Hate digging Nutella out of the measuring cup? Spray the cup with a tiny bit of oil or cooking spray first. It slides right out, no mess, no waste.
- If a recipe calls for room temperature eggs/milk, don't ignore it! Cold ingredients will make the Nutella harden instantly when you mix it, leaving you with lumps instead of a smooth batter.
