Chocolate fans, grab your apron and clear your diaries...

<p>If we needed an excuse to eat <em>even more</em> chocolate, February 5 marks <a href="http://www.nutelladay.com/" target="_blank">World Nutella Day</a>. Started by a Nutella mega-fan back in 2007, the celebration has seriously gained momentum over the years &ndash; probably because it's very easy to partake in. You could introduce someone to the chocolatey spread, write a poem about it, enjoy eating it 'somewhere interesting' (as the website suggests), host a Nutella-themed party or just, well, spread some of the good stuff on your toast.</p><p>Of course, Nutella is far more versatile than you'd initially think. Ever thought of folding it into cupcake or cookie batter, stirring it into hot chocolate or spooned over profiteroles?</p><p>Get ready, as we're about to open your eyes to a whole world of chocolatey, hazelnutty possibilities &ndash; here are some delicious and creative ways you can bake with <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/chocolate-sweet-spreads/nutella-hazelnut-chocolate-spread/19508" target="_blank">Nutella</a>.</p><h2>Make some fast nutella fudge </h2><p><a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/nutella-and-baileys-fudge" target="_blank">This fudge recipe</a> couldn't be much simpler &ndash; put everything in a bowl and blast it in the microwave, before scraping into a tin and refridgerating. If you have some Nutella and a bottle of Baileys rattling round in the cupboard, you're well on your way to rustling this up in moments. Drizzled with white chocolate, it's the perfect post-dinner treat.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="nutella_and_baileys_fudge__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/nutella_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>have hot chocolate for dessert</h2><p>When it's this indulgent, <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/smores-hot-chocolate" target="_blank">hot chocolate</a> makes the perfect winter dessert. Leave the marshmallows to melt to create a really gooey topping, drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with crushed digestive biscuit. Two full tablespoons of Nutella makes this extra thick and chocolatey. </p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><img alt="chocolate_drink__square__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/chocolate_drink__square__square_GL?scl=1"></h2><h2>Create a Nutella waffle </h2><p>Deliciously sweet and creamy, these <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/ice-cream-banana-nutella-waffle-tacos" target="_blank">ice cream and banana waffle tacos</a> are made even better with the addition of Nutella.

Happy baking!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="nutella-cupcakes__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/nutella-cupcakes__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>nutella choc chip cookies anyone?</h2><p>Soft, <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/nutella-chocolate-chip-cookies" target="_blank">chewy biscuits</a> with a gooey choc centre - absolute heaven!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="nutella-chocolate-chip-cookies__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/nutella-chocolate-chip-cookies__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Make an instant fondue</h2><p>Fondue is what every chocoholic dreams about. But have you ever thought of using a pot of <a href="http://groceries.asda.com/product/chocolate-sweet-spreads/nutella-hazelnut-chocolate-spread/19508" target="_blank">Nutella</a>? It's genius, and so easy - simply scoop out into a bowl and microwave. Then cut up some strawberries, take a packet of gooey marshmallows and get dipping straight into the bowl. You could even make some fruit kebabs full of grapes, raspberries and whatever else you've got to use up in the fruit bowl.  </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="chocolate-fondue-2__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/chocolate-fondue-2__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Dip your churros in it</h2><p>These Spanish <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/churros">fluted doughnuts</a>, known as churros, make for a delicious treat and they go down even better with a pot of melted Nutella dipping sauce. Or if you're looking to <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/masterclass-doughnuts">make your own doughnuts</a>, try filling them with a squeeze of Nutella instead of the classic jam middle!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="churros__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/churros__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Drizzle over your profiteroles</h2><p>Instead of topping your <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/chocolate-cream-profiteroles" target="_blank">profiteroles</a> with a dark chocolate sauce, why not save yourself the trouble and use Nutella instead? Just heat it in a bowl first, for ease of dipping, and eat immediately. Ingenious.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="chocolate-cream-profiteroles__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/chocolate-cream-profiteroles__square_GL?scl=1"></p><p><em>Feeling inspired to try out a Nutella dish?
