NOCCIOLATA
Nocciolata is an Italian chocolate-hazelnut spread similar to Nutella but with the creamy consistency of a sauce. The flavor of toasted hazelnuts is somewhat more pronounced than that of Nutella, and it has a slightly higher proportion of nuts. Use as a topping for breads, ice cream, cakes, a filling for crepes, or however you desire.
