Note:  This frosting was put on banana muffins… it is my Grandpa’s recipe from when I was little!  You can find Grandpa Z’s Banana Cupcakes here!  This recipe is great on banana, chocolate or vanilla cupcakes!  

I absolutely LOVE Nutella… I could quite possibly live on it.  My favorite has always been on warm toast so it gets all melty… but now that I’ve made it in frosting form, I have a new favorite!  What is not to love!

I was surprised at how much the hazelnut flavor comes out in this recipe!

Although I used the “store Nutella” in this recipe, don’t forget to check out my homemade Nutella recipe!
