never understood what the fuss was about.\u00a0 I&#8217;d rather eat a peanut than a hazelnut.\u00a0 I&#8217;d rather have peanut butter and jam, than chocolate and hazelnuts.\u00a0 It was never in our house growing up as a kid, so I don&#8217;t think I ever really knew about it.\u00a0 But, when an Italian family becomes your family, you learn quickly about all things Italian.\u00a0 One of those things is hazelnut flavoured everything!\u00a0 I think I first tried a Ferraro Rocher at Paul&#8217;s mom&#8217;s house, and <em>meh<\/em>, didn&#8217;t really care for it.\u00a0 Apparently it had to be baked inside of a cupcake for me to really like it!\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>As far as Nutella went, I could never understand why bloggers were posting about it, drooling over it and giving it love I didn&#8217;t think it deserved.\u00a0 UNTIL I made this buttercream.\u00a0 This Nutella buttercream may be the absolute best thing I have ever tasted.\u00a0 No lie.\u00a0 It is rich, creamy and oozes smooth buttercream flavour.\u00a0 The hazelnut-chocolate taste is perfectly complimented by the sweetness of the sugar and saltiness of the butter.\u00a0 O.M.G.\u00a0 That&#8217;s how good it is.\u00a0 Good enough to talk in capitals.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The buttercream is one of those tastes that just the smallest amount will send you face first into the bowl.\u00a0 If you have strong willpower, I guarantee that it will be tested with this cupcake.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
