Recently while shopping with the spouse he complained that we were once again out of peanut butter. In this household that stuff is a precious commodity. We buy it in bulk, as in 7 lb containers. They all eat it, catch THEY. I am not a huge peanut butter alone fan. Peanut butter cookies; I am there, peanut butter fudge; a corner piece please. So imagine my surprise when traveling down the peanut butter aisle I see a small jar on the opposite side that looks like this:
Oh there were other flavors, although I cannot remember them right now. I was instantly in love with this one. Not only did you go after my heart with the words mocha cappuccino but the fact that it is a HAZELNUT spread. I had to see, my love of all things coffee forbade me from leaving the aisle without this in my cart. It was all I could do to get to the checkout line. I fought the urge to open it and dive into it. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. See the catch is I cannot stand the hazelnut creamer. I loathe it. But I do like hazel nut spread and hazel nuts themselves. Don’t ask I have no clue, I am just a weirdo. But this, this has become my guilty pleasure. I leave it sitting on the counter in the kitchen. Need a chocolate fix but don’t want the extra calories of a candy bar simply walk in and get a finger full of this wonderful substitute. Yes I said Finger Full. This is mine. I have very few things that I am not willing to share, this is one. This is my peaceful place in a hectic day. This is my fix when I don’t want a full cup of coffee but want the taste of it. This, this is my little piece of heaven in the kitchen. One day maybe I will share, but not today.. probably not next week either.
I am also linking up with I SPY because this is definitely a sweet thing…
MMM yummy. Now I want some!
Thanks for sharing!

Looks tasty. I’ve seen it but haven’t really tried it, I figured if I don’t try it then I can’t get addicted to it and since I’m trying to be healthy that’s probably best right now. LOL!

I think Jif and others are really feeling the squeeze since Nutella came out. You so should have just dipped in. honestly you were going to pay for it. you could have even gone to the deli counter and asked for a spoon

You are speaking my love language right here.
It sounds like Nutella…only better (is that possible?)
I need some now.

No NO, set it in the fridge.. then slice it off with a knife… for a snack. just sayin. it rocks..
This is a staple in our homes, but it must be kept in the frig.. better than a candy bar!

I can’t stand hazelnut flavoring – like in creamers, syrups, coffees, etc. But hazelnuts, hazelnut spreads, etch – YUM!
For the record, my name is Ally and I am a peanut butter addict. Ahem.
