chestnut spread
« on: October 18, 2006, 01:44:01 PM »
we have a tin of french chestnut spread (sweetened). the classic use is on crepes but i'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas of what i could do with it to use it up before it goes off?
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I've never had it, but maybe on toast? Like Nutella? Sounds yummy whatever you do with it!  :)

Chestnut puree, whipped cream and chocolate are a marriage made in heaven.

It is delicious mixed with peanut butter as well.

Yum!  They use this stuff in Hungary too.  I've had it on the Upper East Side in NYC at a Hungarian restaurant there. (Can't wait to go to Hungary and try it there) 

I'm going to buy some here and try it out ;D
