I have been a huge fan of Nutella hazelnut spread for a very long time.  I initially fell in love with this product, when I tasted a French crepe for the first time!  The crepes were terrific - a thin pancake filled with fresh fruit and Nutella, then topped with whipped cream!!  Honestly, I think the Nutella topped this delectable dessert!  The popularity of crepes spread like wildfire in California and of course was already a hit in other metropolitan cities already.  Eventually, Nutella became hugely recognized as well!!  Nutella is best at warm temperature and drizzled over any dessert!  We were hooked that it even took care of our chocolate cravings, since cocoa is one of the ingredients.


Up until about a month ago, Nutella was my preferred hazelnut spread, but soon discovered Nocciolata!  According to the Nutella website all that is sold in the US is made at a Canada plant.  Nocciolata is made in Italy and has so much more of a creamy texture where Nutella has more of peanut butter consistency.  Nocciolata tastes more authentic...the flavor of the hazelnuts really overpower more than anything else.  Since Nutella is now mass-produced and sold in almost every mega grocery store chain in the US - Albertson's, Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway, etc. - I have noticed that the quality is not the same as when I first had it.  I also feel as if it has lost special flair and is now at the same level as Jiffy & Skippy peanut butters - no longer as specialty item.  I found Nocciolata at Whole Foods Market recently,  when I was searching for an organic hazelnut spread.  I immediately fell in love with Nocciolata - just had so much more of an authentic, unprocessed taste to it!

My husband and I plan on doing the blind taste test this weekend to see, which we like best!  I will post our results from the blind taste test!!
 
One of my favorite ways to enjoy Nocciolata is taking a teaspoon of it, add a pump of canned whipped cream on top and enjoy!  Another way I enjoy consuming it is as a fruit dip, a cookie dip or just by itself on a spoon - AMAZING!  

I look forward to your response!!

DOG OWNERS: Do you have a dog that constantly barks?

Do you have a dog that constantly barks?  Is it a nuisance to your family and neighbors?  Are you looking for a humane way that will silence the excessive barking?  Please read my story!


I have been a dog owner almost all of my life and I have always had little yapper dogs!  I currently have a 6-year old maltese, who barks at anyone and anything that may be a threat to his property.  As a mother of a 2.5 year old, I am very weary of strangers!  The best part about Bubba is that he protects his home!  We have had it with the constant barking though!  It has gotten to the point, where I could not open the blinds, where he would have a clear view of the outside.  Since we live in a 1st floor unit, we see a lot of the passer-byes and Bubba's job in order to protect his home would be to bark at them!  His barks were loud and irritating at times, especially when my husband or our toddler was asleep.


When we lived in Hawaii almost 3 years ago, I had purchased a bark collar, which was the spray collar that sprayed the Citronella scent!  I had no choice; it was either we give the dog away or silence his bark.  We lived in apartments that surely would not tolerate a barking dog, so we were so thankful we found this as an alternative!  Bubba was a changed dog!  He became more submissive and more of a pleasure to be around.  After we left Hawaii, we stopped using the bark collar because we thought he was a different dog and no longer needed it.  After several months of not wearing the collar, he started to revert back to his old ways and started the barking again!


Until now...we just purchased the spray bark collar for Bubba and he is awesome!!  For those of you out there looking for relief from your barking dog, you will need to have the collar!!  It is not inhumane just like those shock collars, which do not actually work all that well!  The collar arrived last Friday and I have already told 2 people about it that went ahead and purchased the collar for their dog also!  Now, I want to share it with you all and you may need it for your dog or have family member/friend that wants one for their dog!


You will love this and your dog will be an awesome dog once again!!  They are sold on Amazon either new or refurbished. 


Well, check it out!!  The one directly below is the one that I purchased.  There are other brands on the market, but this is the one that I have always used and it has always worked!  I have even heard and read stories of dogs that will not even bark just seeing the collar close to them.  I have tried everything from calming pills to spraying him with water and this is it!  My husband even wants to personally write the inventor of this product and that thank him/her personally!

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The MultiVet Anti-Bark Spray Collar is a safe and humane way to train your dog to stop nuisance barking. Each time he barks, the collar releases a harmless citronella spray right in front of his snout. The dog becomes distracted by the sight, smell, sound, and sensation of the spray, and stops barking. He learns to expect the spray, and will instinctively quit excessive barking to avoid it. Use the Anti-Bark Spray Collar in conjunction with dog training to permanently break your pet of his barking habit. It’s a painless and scientifically proven method recommended by leading animal experts. It’s completely safe for all dogs and puppies, and leaves no pain, fear, or side effects. Approved and endorsed by the SPCA. Includes an adjustable collar, battery, spray device, citronella spray refill, and training manual.

Product Description

The Anti-Bark Spray Collar stops dogs at the very moment they start baking, Its comforting effect allows dogs to adapt easily and quietly to their environment while providing peace of mind for their owners.
