Nutella Muffins = big fat FAIL

Have I mentioned I'm not a kitchen person? I'm not. And my first attempt at doctoring a recipe proves it.


While they look "OK", the best part of these Nutella muffins was eating the Nutella while it was warm. But it didn't budge and melt into the muffin as I had hoped. And since I couldn't swirl it in BECAUSE YOU CAN'T MICROWAVE NUTELLA, it's just a glob of Nutella inside a wad of plain muffin.

Not what I consider tasty.

I'm very disappointed.

I wasted Nutella.

I feel like I should be punished for doing so, too.

Today's Lesson

Nutella cannot be microwaved. If you do so, it hardens! :( Crap, I think I may have just wasted nearly half a jar of Nutella... I couldn't get it to swirl into the muffin mix like I planned so I had to sort of dollop it onto the batter once it was in the tin. We'll see what happens in about 12 minutes.

Did I mention I'm not much of a kitchen person?

Nuts for NUTELLA

I love Nutella. I don't know how else to say it other than I think I would seriously cry if there ever came a time when they stopped making it. It's so damn good. It just is. And it's something I grew up so it makes me feel good when I eat it, too.

Anyway, I've been wanting to make something with Nutella instead of just shoveling it in my mouth straight out of the jar or eating it with crackers (which, incidentally, is really really tasty). But I don't really have that many ingredients, nor do I have that much knowledge in the kitchen.

Then I found this recipe for Blueberry muffins using Bisquick. Well... what if I sub out the Blueberries for the godsend that Nutella is?!? I'm gonna try it... right.now. :)

Wish me luck!
