Crumpet Toppings: Chocolate Spread or Nutella

For a quick sweet treat a crumpet topped with chocolate spread or Nutella really gives you that sugar hit.  I’ll quite often have a single crumpet with chocolate spread as a late evening snack, it’s just enough to satisfy those sweet cravings, without becoming a large calorie-fest.

It’s a fast snack that I can usually make in a commercial break in the middle of a TV programme, or even between programmes.  Fast and tasty = winning combination.

This didn’t photograph well as I quickly took the snap late one evening while I was keen to just get on and eat it!

Ingredients: 

• One crumpet
• 10 grams chocolate spread.

Method:

1. Simply toast the crumpet in your toaster, or under your grill.
2. Spread one rounded teaspoon of chocolate spread over the top.

Eat and enjoy!

The calories in a rounded teaspoon of chocolate spread, about 10 grams, is approximately 50-60 calories, depending on the brand.

Menu Cost: 

A crumpet can cost as little as 6p and the chocolate spread I buy is Lidl Choco Hazlenut spread, costing about 3p for a teaspoon.  This quick sweet snack, or fast dessert for one, costs under 10p!
