Last year, I turned Nutella into a powder using maltodextrin. This year, er, well, I only found out it was World Nutella Day a few hours ago. As I've been a touch busy trying to diagnose a sick mail server, fancy ideas such as nutella noodles or rum-infused isomalt Nutella bubbles were a bit beyond me. But they've been written down for next year. Thinking about it, I could have taken the liquid chocolate here and made Nutella Aero bars too. Oh well, only another 365 days to go...

Nutella Chocolates

• 1 stick Valrhona chocolate (it was going out of date soon, so it needed to be used)
• 1 tablespoon Nutella
• 1 tablespoon rum

Melt chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave, add in Nutella and rum, stir to mix, and pour into chocolate mould. Easy!

I promise to be a bit more creative next year...
