Forget cheese slices in your kids lunchbox - Nutella-style slices are on their way and the world is going crazy for them!

'We keep hearing that Nutella have been trialling an alternative to their traditional spread - and it looks like Nutella Slices is what they'll release next,' says a food insider on-line. 'They're talking about releasing them later in 2019 - it's going to be massive.'
The idea is the brainchild of Bourbon, a Japanese brand well known for its delicious treats, and it’s selling 2-millimetre-thick slices of “rich, deep, melting-in-the-mouth smooth ganache.”
They are the perfect size for any slice of bread...To use this chocolate in your (or you kids') lunchbox, all you do is peel off the plastic film, and it’s good to go — and can be used easily in pastry, on crackers, pancakes and even toast.
The news has sent fans of the famous hazelnut spread into a frenzy, with one commenting: 'Nutella -style slices - what a time to be alive!'
We couldn't agree more...
