The kids and I have always loved the flavor of hazelnut so I was glad to find Delicia in the grocery. It’s not as expensive but tastes almost exactly like the imported brand. What I love in Gardenia Delicia is that it’s not too oily and yet it’s very easy to spread. The 200g jar is easy to carry and pack along with a loaf of Gardenia sliced bread when we go to picnics or out of town trips.
Dip in it – Don’t be afraid to dunk your favorite fruit such as strawberries, banana, melon and apples. Fresh fruits taste great when combined with hazelnut chocolate.
Cracker Smores – If you have some stocks of plain crackers and marshmallows in your pantry, try this. Spread some Delicia love on two crackers and put a marshmallow in between, pop in the microwave for a couple of seconds, and voila! Instant hazelnut smores!
Hazelnut Milk Drink – Make yourself a warm mug of hazelnut milk drink by doing these simple steps: Pour a cup of fresh milk in a sauce pan, mix in a dollop of Delicia, and then mix while you heat it on your stove.
Drizzle – Drizzle some Delicia on cookies, ice cream, freshly baked bread, or some rice porridge.
Classic Hazelnut Sandwich Spread – Of course, Gardenia Delicia is best as sandwich spread and summer is the perfect time to enjoy these baon : swimming trips, baon to museums, or summer classes. Sometimes, even on Sundays, I make sandwiches early so that the kids can eat them while we are on our way to church.
Health note : Hazelnuts are beneficial to health because these nuts are rich with vitamins (particularly Vitamin E and manganese) and antioxidants that are good for the heart and lessen risk of some types of cancers.
Do you have other ideas where you use Delicia? Would love to read about it, please feel free to comment!
