Homemade Nutella or Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Recipe - Italian Food and Recipes - Scordo.com (photo: from left to right: processing the ingredients, toasting hazelnuts, final product) Nutella was invented in Italy in the 1940′s and was a response to the shortage of cocoa (given World War II) and a way to extend the chocolate supply in Italy.

Nutella was a staple product in our Italian American household (it was introduced in select US markets in 1983) and pantry and was a particular favorite of my sister, Roseann.

I PLEDGE&8230; - thebeautydepartment.com photo: lilylock.tumblr.com/post design: eunice chun Every single Winter I swear that I’m not going to let my face get dry, irritated and chapped. But life gets in the way, I forget to stay on top of it and before I know it, the corners of my lips are cracked and my chin is so dry and irritated that it even has little rash-like bumps on it!
