Update: Click here to read our Jif Hazelnut Spreads (Chocolate and Mocha Cappuccino) review
To be honest, before today, I didn’t know much about hazelnut spreads, except for the world famous Nutella.
If you were to have asked me two days ago to name another hazelnut spread brand and recite all 50 states and their capitals or else be pantsed in the middle of a busy public area, I would’ve had my jeans around my ankles. But if the same thing happened today, lots of people would still see my black Hanes boxer briefs, but I would be able to name another hazelnut spread brand because Jif recently introduced a line of hazelnut spreads.
Jif Hazelnut Spread comes in two flavors: Chocolate and Mocha Cappuccino.
If you’re wondering how they compare with Nutella, read through the next two paragraphs filled with commas.
