It is so easy to get sucked in by the nutella marketing but it doesn't seem based on fact!<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - some things are easier to veganify or veganise than others - and some things are more satisfying than others too<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - you can't go wrong with chocolate<br /><br />Thanks Cindy - chasing the shade with a challenge and made it hard to keep food from getting in the sun but at least when the fudge got warm it still tasted good.<br /><br />Thanks Anh - very kind<br /><br />Thanks Maggie - hope you enjoy the fudge - it is wonderful<br /><br />Thanks Kari - I think the higher hazelnuts and lower sugar altered the fudge considerably but all for the better<br /><br />Thanks Em - it really is amazing - hope you enjoy<br /><br />Thanks Hannah - I know you would love this - esp given that I got the fudge from you in the first place<br /><br />Thanks Mel - mayo and fudge is a great combination :-) maybe you will come along to another of these potlucks<br /><br />Thanks Jacqueline - I am fine with this fudge as vegan or unvegan, given that I have tried it both ways and if you have the ingredients on hand what is stopping you!<br /><br />Thanks Kenny - I was a fan of flying nun but don't know the ones you are referring to - will have to look out for them<br /><br />Thanks Ricki - blogger picnics are great - esp now that the weather is warming up (mostly - still rained on and off today)<br /><br />Thanks Choclette - I am glad I have blogging for foodie discussions - though fortunately I have a few around who will indulge in offline food talks with meJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-50503624497887925612011-11-13T05:38:27.127+11:002011-11-13T05:38:27.127+11:00Quite envious of your blogger meet ups and pot luc...Quite envious of your blogger meet ups and pot luck picnics - it sounds fun.

Great idea to use hazelnut butter instead of nutella. I can't believe the commercials for nutella try to show it as a healthy choice with lots of skim milk and hazelnuts.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.com
