Special edition Nutella jars will feature New Orleans in ‘Breakfast Across America’ series | Entertainment/Life

Beignets and Nutella: a breakfast made for New Orleans?

That’s what the makers of the hazelnut chocolate spread Nutella think — and they’re also offering a recipe for the tasty pairing. It’s all presented on a special New Orleans-themed edition of the Nutella jar, part of a series called “Breakfast Across America.”  

The Crescent City culinary collaboration is part of the company’s jar collection of 16 landmark locations, each with a breakfast idea to match.

“Nutella is all about breakfast, and we hope these regional recipes inspire families to create new special breakfast memories this summer,” said Endri Shtylla, marketing director of Nutella at Ferrero U.S.A, in a statement. “Whether you want to make a Beignet inspired by New Orleans or Blueberry Pancakes from Portland, ‘Breakfast Across America’ has something for everyone to enjoy.”

The jars will boast representative art of each area. The New Orleans jars feature shots of the iconic streetcars.
