Nutella had a good run, but M&M’s is coming for the chocolate spread crown.
M&M’s Chocolate Spread with Crispy Pieces is the sweet jarred treat that we deserve right now. Not only is it wonderfully-spreadable, but unlike Nutella, M&M’s loads theirs with crispy candy pieces.
Perfect for fans of the candies that melt in your mouth, and those who prefer chunky over smooth. As of now, the spread is available in the UK, but we hope to have it on our toast stateside soon.

Nutella is a wonderful and majestic food item. And, apparently, there’s a new rule that if you sandwich anything between two halves of a bun, it shall be known as a “burger.”
McDonald’s Italy knows this, and has created something called the Nutella Burger. Although, this is what we might refer to as a “breakfast burger,” the sandwich is exactly what the name implies — Nutella spread in-between a sweet bun. Would you like fries with that?

Graphic artist and calligrapher, David Milan, has a new project for the brand-loyal typophiles out there.
David uses his illustration and lettering skills to recreate familiar brand logos by hand. Nutella becomes even more appealing [if that’s even possible] with an elegant hand-drawn typeface — while 7-11 now looks nothing like the place you’d find murder-dogs and Slurpees at.
Check out more below, and more of Milan’s work over on Instagram.
