LOL - peanuts, least favorite of all the nuts. Dislike even more than Brazil nuts. Favorites, of course, are pecans and almonds, coconuts. Hazel nuts are good. Have you tried the stateside brand similar to Nutella? Don’t remember the mfg. perhaps it was Hershey Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. Used this one morning for stuffed Fried French toast. WOW!
Favorite candy would be Almond Joy - if only it was covered in the dark chocolate like the Mounds bars. The dark chocolate would make it twice as good :-) Prefer Dark chocolate over milk chocolate any day of the week.
Oh yeah, I love coconut. That has to be a prepping food right? :-). LOL I don’t think I’m ever going to try to Google the shelf life of coconut in mylar with an oxygen absorber. It’s hard enough to find every day foods sometimes.
I’ve tried almost everything that says hazelnut on it. I always go back to Nutella as far as the spreads go. It’s what I grew up with, in visits to Italy. Then when it became available here, it was like heaven on earth! I no longer have to travel that far to get it. Aldi’s has their version which is very good. Actually more hazelnutty than Nutella. But again I always go back to Nutella , it just has that different flavor that I can’t quite put my finger on that I really like.
I don’t think it would store very long though :-( just like peanut butter. I have never had Nutella that had been stored too long but I recently found an old jar of peanut butter that was just plain weird. Somehow all the flavor was gone and the texture was really gross. I assume it had to do with age.
I love both mounds and almond Joy, but just like you I prefer the dark chocolate. The coconut in them is just awesome. Wayback when for Easter mounds and almond Joy used to have eggs, with great big huge piles of coconut in it. I haven’t seen that in a long long time though.
