    did you like the chocolate hazelnut butter? Well, I guess if you like Nutella then you would like Justin’s version? I tried Justin’s Chocolate PB and wasn’t too crazy about it.

    I immediately thought of those chocolate orange balls — the ones that look like an orange but they are made of chocolate — I hope you know what I mean. I used to love to slam them on the counter to break apart the pieces. So good!

    When I traveled last summer, I knew that I would have a hard time find any good nut butter in Europe, so I took a ton of those Justin’s packets! I mostly had honey peanut butter and almond butter, but I had one or two chocolate hazelnut ones and they were so good. Perfect size!

    @Holly — Those are Terry’s chocolate oranges — whack and unwrap!

    The smoothie looks tasty, but I didn’t think you could mix milk and orange–doesn’t the milk curdle?

    I remember I use to get these chocolate orange candy things all the time, it was shaped like an orange and you would break it into pieces , like orange slices, it was sooooooo good! Ever since having those , I loved the orange and chocolate combo!

    Happy Valentines Day to you guys!!

    I literally just finished spooning this smoothie for breakfast; it was wonderful! I topped mine with shredded coconut, Ancient Grains granola, coconut butter and some Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut. I also ended up adding ice to the smoothie, because I wanted more volume. 🙂 Thanks so much!

    I’ve always wanted to try orange in a smoothie but I was never sure how it would work out with the milk. That’s good to know that it works!
