We both have fond foreign memories of Nutella. I stuffed mine into hot
croissants on Isola d'Elba. Breakfast with Napolean's Ghost.

Except that Napoleon died on St. Helena.

All that aside, I think nutella in croissants is a great idea.

Normally I make chocolate croissants, which is pretty standard,
but I think next time I'll smear in some nutella along with it.
Gotta be good.

Yes, I know he was exiled on Elba. He liked it *so* much he escaped to
undertake the Cent-Jours and was then confined to St. Helena until his
death. His ghost, if it is anywhere, is either on St. Helena or haunting
Wellington.

Good gods, could you get any MORE decadent???

;-D

Yeah, Nutella is good stuff. My sister introduced it to me several years
ago. I like it just on a spoon.

My sister's b-day cake last night was made from layers of ice cream
sandwiches, fudge topping, caramel, toffee bits, dark chocolate chips
and whipping cream, all frozen.

I was tempted. <g>

She gave me 1/2 serving of dark chocolate Ghirardelli chips instead.
<sigh> I did pass on her "cake" but it sounded really amazing.

Up until now, the most decadent cake I'd run across was turtle cake.

OH man. I bet it would be great on Scottish shortbread cookies. All that
butter.
