If you are anything like me you will looove this recipe. I grew up in France eating lots of Nutella and stopped eating it as a teenager as I knew it was bad for me. That was until I found healthy vegan nutella recipes and now healthy Nutella is back in my life :) I love eating it on toast or with banana but also make some recipes with it like these Nutella filled chocolate hearts that taste a lot like Ferrero Rochers.
