This December, I’m giving away three batches of homemade chocolate-hazelnut butter [1]. You might enjoy this spread as Nutella, but mine’s more sophisticated. I caramelize the sugar and add three times more hazelnuts. If you’re looking for the recipe, the new version’s not online yet… But the basic version has gotten rave reviews.
To win, be one of the first three people to answer this question below: what’s your favorite way to use chocolate-hazelnut spread? The only thing I ask is that you pay it forward [2]. In my version, you must promise to do a charitable act.
Some ideas: volunteer for the relief efforts in New Orleans [3], because it’s still bad down there. Or donate money to worthy causes, such as CulinaryCorps [4], UNICEF [5] (they have programs for the cyclone in Bangladesh and the genocide in Darfur), and a Menu for Hope [6]. Or, go green by recycling more, using compact fluorescent lightbulbs [7] and eating less animal products [8]. I would appreciate it if you let me know your good deed, because I love to know about random acts of kindness.
