Advantages: Cheaper than Nutella

Disadvantages: Not as Nutty

I am someone who has to have something on my toast other than just butter. A few months ago I started buying Nutella. This is a chocolate spread with Hazelnuts and very yummy, but it is quite pricey; £1.89 for a 400g jar. So last week while doing our weekly shopping I went to the Jams and Spreads section to pick up a jar of said Nutella and I spied a jar of Tesco value chocolate spread with hazelnuts. So I bought a 600g jar for only £1.20 and at this point I might add that I am also someone that normally would only buy brand names where food is concerned.

This spread is a lot softer (some might say runnier) than Nutella but I think just as nice, not as nutty though. Because it's softer it goes further, therefore making it even more economical and I should only have to buy a jar every fortnight instead of every week.

Nutritional Values per 15g serving:
90 calories
5.7g fat of which saturates 1.1g
8.4g sugar
Trace of salt

Nutella per 15g serving:
80 calories
4.7g fat of which saturates 1.6g
8.3g sugar
Sodium 5.1mg

As shown above, the Tesco value contains a few more calories than Nutella but as I wont be using as much per sitting I wont worry too much about that.

Of course the packaging isn't as fancy as the Nutella, it comes in a round jar with a white lid and has the usual Tesco value packaging, white with blue and red bands, thats one of the reasons it's cheaper.

In my opinion this chocolate spread is just as nice and it spreads a lot easier than Nutella on hot toast, goes on a lot smoother and therefore you don't use as much.

It's well worth buying and I will probably continue to do so (once a fortnight).

Summary: Well worth a try
