This dessert sauce is versatile and oh so good. It is for pure indulgence and decadence. We used it to top Vanilla Ice Cream. Could be used over a variety of things, pound cake, over an eclair, drizzled over fruit.

NOTES:
Don't know what Nutella is? It is quite similar to the very common peanut butter. However it is made with hazelnut and a touch of cocoa. A lovely, smooth, rich treat to spread over bread, english muffins, bagels, croissants, and the like.
