Remember when you were little and a piece of toast with a certain big-name hazelnut spread was the absolute pinnacle? Well, here we are a few realizations about sugar, dairy, mass market food product additives, and maybe even a nut allergy, later – but that doesn’t mean we have to give up the pleasure entirely. We’re making breakfast sweet again with this Notella spread. It’s totally plant-based and nut-free so everyone can enjoy.
