Nutella Blended Coffee Drink

As part of my Eat from your Pantry Challenge, I want to use up lots of odds and ends in the pantry and freezer. This drink totally helped with that.  I found the recipe over at US MASALA.  The hazelnut flavor in the Nutella really provides a unique and different flavor to the basic chocolate coffee drink.

I was working hard on decluttering another part of the house and I needed a break.  I took the opportunity, since Little Man was sleeping, to make me this treat and take a short break before he woke up and more chores started screaming my name.

Do you have a good recipe that uses up a ton in your pantry or fridge?  Head over to my EFYP Challenge and add it to the comments or link up.  We'd love to have you join us.  The challenge goes through Nov 15.
