At a Nutella pop up shop that is scheduled to open later this month, a Nutella bento box will be available. Simply an ode to the beloved chocolate and hazelnut spread, the store will be found at The Alehouse Project in Melbourne, Australia. Online magazine City Lane is responsible for the one-day-only Nutella pop-up.
The Nutella-themed bento box will consist of a Nutella peanut butter s'more, a Nutella salted caramel truffle and a Nutella and maple syrup tart, which comes with a smoked hickory Italian meringue. Just a limited amount (500) will be available, beginning at 9am on September 12. They will also be serving coffee -- a "Japanese-style V60 pour over" using a Padre Coffee Hey Daddy filter blend.
