    Do you think that crushed Oreos would be a good topping for this?
    Community Answer
    Absolutely, that sounds great!
  • Question
    Why bother putting it on the stove when you could put it in the microwave?
    Community Answer
    The Nutella melts faster and doesn't get burned while mixing.
  • Question
    Can I vary the amount of the Nutella in the recipe?
    Community Answer
    Of course! If you add more Nutella, your drink will be sweeter and thicker. If you use less Nutella, your drink will be thinner and more milky instead.
  • Question
    Can I use a microwave to make this?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can, but be careful. The Nutella is more likely to burn, and it will melt quicker than when using a stove and saucepan. Heat the Nutella at 10 to 15 second increments, and stir it often.
  • Question
    What happens if I use a rusty pot?

    Yes, but it may not taste the same as using normal Nutella and may not be as sweet as you would like it to.
  • Question
    Can we make it with cold milk?

  • Question
    How many servings does this make?

    It depends on how big your cup is, but this is meant to be one serving.
  • Question
    Do you have to use that much milk?

  • Question
    Mine doesn't taste at all like I expected it to. Did I do something wrong?
    Community Answer
    Did you use the right amount of milk? Nutella has a strong taste, so you might want to add more milk if the taste was too much for you.
  • Question
    Does the milk have to be fat-free?
    Community Answer
    No, you can use whole milk or even 2% milk instead. Keep in mind that Nutella isn't exactly fat-free, so using whole milk or 2% milk will give you a richer drink.
  • Question
    If I add some chocolate bars, will it be better, or will this make it bad?
    Community Answer
    It wouldn't make it bad, but it might tone down the flavor of the hazelnut. If that's your preference, then go for it!

    You can, but it will be pretty watery and not have the creaminess that it would have with milk.

    Burnt Nutella won't integrate with the milk and become hot chocolate. It also will affect the taste so that the Nutella will taste acrid instead of rich and chocolatey.
