Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Nutella) Measuring FAQs
Why does Nutella weigh 296g per cup (so much heavier than peanut butter)? ▾
Over 55% of commercial chocolate hazelnut spread is dense crystalline sugar combined with heavy vegetable oils.
Should chocolate hazelnut spread be refrigerated? ▾
No, refrigeration crystallizes the palm fats, making it rock-hard and virtually impossible to spread on pastries.
