Raspberry Nocciolata Grilled Sandwich and giveaway
Eric and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary last weekend. Woohoo! Here’s to another 60 years of lying in bed together while looking at our phones.
No really, as far as romancing goes, Eric’s pretty awesome. He is the one who’s always setting up date nights for us. He brings home fresh flowers regularly because he knows how much I love them. And he is a diligent dish washer, which is a pretty valuable asset when you are married to a food blogger.
We were on our anniversary date last weekend when I saw something at Marshall’s that my sister-in-law Sandi had been wanting. I texted her a picture. “Look! Only 25 bucks!” All she said was, “please tell me you’re not shopping at Marshall’s for your date.”
Or instead of Costco you can just enter my giveaway. Leave a comment below telling me what you will make with it if you win! (I highly recommend these.)
(Prize is 1 jar of Nocciolata. US residents only. Giveaway runs until Thursday June 5th at midnight PST.) This giveway is now closed.
I will be buying that entire pack from Costco and making a thousand of these grilled sandwiches with it. A thousand!!! I could seriously eat this every day.
I was given a free jar of Nocciolata to review, but all opinions are my own, of course!
Raspberry Nocciolata Grilled Sandwiches
Ingredients
- sourdough bread, sliced
- Nocciolata, or other high-quality hazelnut spread
- raspberry preserves
- butter, softened
Instructions
- Spread Nocciolata on one slice of bread and raspberry preserves on the other slice.
- Sandwich them together. Don't squish it!
- Spread butter on the top half of the sandwich.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sandwich, butter side down.
- Spread butter on the other side once it's in the skillet.
- Let it grill for 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it since the Nocciolata has a tendency to burn.
- Flip when it is golden brown and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes. Eat hot!

If I win I will make banana bread with a nocciolata swirl!
This was the best idea! I used homemade chocolate almond butter and raspberry jam. It was amazing!
We always used Nutella for our s’mores when camping. You still have the fun of roasting marshmallows. It’s an amazing flavor combo.

I love Nutella so I would love to try the organic, healthy version straight out of the jar into my mouth!
I would make these raspberry, nocciolata grilled sandwiches! They look heavenly!
One of the great culinary discoveries of my life was when I found out that Europeans put chocolate on their bread! I want to spread some of this Nocciolata on some great bread right now :)
We all know the first spoonful (or two, or three) always goes straight to the mouth. Beyond that, I think these sandwiches are right up my alley.
Happy anniversary, Karen! That sounds just like me ‘n Tony. Marriage is all about being comfortable enough to look disgusting with the one you love. It’d be even better if we were munching our way through these sammiches – for gawd’s sake, woman, you’re killing me. The crisp on the bread is PERFECT and I’m loving the bread to filling ratio. In fact, it might need a bit MORE Nocciolata ;)
I would make Nocciolata chocolate cups (like reeses!)
Oh my gosh, that Etsy card you linked to. SO TRUE. My husband and I’s anniversary is coming up later this month, and I just might have to order that for him.
You really can’t go wrong with the combo of ingredients! I could totally see this being a really fun weekend “breakfast.”
I would make your grilled sandwich I am 5 months pregnant and now I am have the sandwich as a crabbing lol
I would love to put this in my homemade vanilla ice cream. Yummy!
What would I make with this? Well…..I think that I would make a big heaping spoonful of it straight to my mouth! Yep, that sounds about right. That is, if I can beat my husband to it. I often find that the jar of fudge sauce in the fridge has disappeared little by little when I go to use it for something and I’m guessing this would probably be about the same….
Dawww, Karen–this post!! I love it so much, you two are the cutest in the business. I love that he’s willing to clean up your dishes, too (only a food blogger knows how many dishes need to be washed after a day-long stint in the kitchen!). I love this, and I love that you’ve tied it to this incredible sandwich. Thanks for sharing, and happy anniversary-ing!!
If they sell it at Costco it must be good! I’d make some homemade ciabatta to spread this on…or maybe even go to all the work of homemade croissants!
I shall DEF make your nutella blondies! Holy moly!
First of all, Happy Anniversary! We just celebrated our 7 years together several months ago, and like you said, marriage just keeps on getting better and better. I wish Tim would do the dishes but I’ve never had to do the laundry (he’s very.very particular when it comes to washing and folding clothes) so I guess I shouldn’t complain. I’ve never heard of nocciolata but it sounds heavenly!
Peter and I are going to Barnes and Noble for our date tonight too. But no tennis- that’s way too much work.
I would probably just hide all that hazelnut deliciousness away from my children and eat it all with a spoon while reading in bed. I don’t even know what could be better than that.
Happy Anniversary and this hazelnut spread looks so amazing! I have finally fallen in love with hazelnut besides just Nutella. I would probably make nocciolata swirled banana bread because I love chocolate and bananas. Or maybe noccioata and strawberry homemade poptarts. So excited to try!
Yay!!!!!! Congratulationssssssss on your Anniversary! <3 These sandwiches look SOOO GOOOD!!!! Oh my God! I'd pop them in my mouth every time the hunger pangs strike! *-*
I would make cookies!!
I’ll make some cupcakes
Umm, I would absolutely make this of course, only I would throw it on the panini press.
And your husband washes dishes?! That is off-the-charts romance. I grated my hand on the lemon zester today, so there’s a slim chance that I’ll get out of washing dishes tonight. I’m not counting on it though. ;)
My husband and I spend a lot of date nights at places like Marshall’s and Barnes & Nobles too. You have great taste!! Happy anniversary!
OUCH Claire!! That’s the worst! I hope your hand feels better soon!
I have done Fluffernutters but I can only dream about the hazelnutfluffers. Especially grilled.
That would be tricky. And a variety of artesian breads that I am so into now just ramps it up.
I’m new to this site but have already found many interesting items.
Thanks for commenting Sheila! Glad to have you here! Let me know if there is anything I can help you find. I mean besides a hazelnutfuffer. :)
I would make fluffernutters for my youngest, she adores the marshmallow and peanut butter combo. Add chocolate and she just might explode with happiness!
Happy Anniversary! You guys are so funny and I love the raspberry in this! Very delectable!
Um, I would do these nutella-stuffed browned butter sea salt chocolate chip cookies with it, ‘fo ‘sho!

My little guy Cole would love this after school. Can’t wait to make it for him!
These look so good, what a great idea to pair w/ raspberries!
Well happy anniversary to you and Eric my friend! And to me, your date night sounds just about perfect. I love those kind of dates so much more than the spend-2-hours-getting-ready fancy date. It’s all about being casual and yourselves!
I’m also oddly curious to know what your SIL wanted at Marshall’s for $25. My guess is some kind of cooking gadget?
Now you know I’m going to love this sandwich!
Thanks Natalie! It’s so true. sweat pants date nights trump uncomfortable high heels date nights any day.
It was one of those big tin bucket-y things that you put ice and soda cans in at a party. Is there a name for these that I don’t know???
I would put it in some nice warm crepes! Yum!
These look dangerously good!
Happy Anniversary!!!! I’d say the parts of this sandwich are pretty darn delicious, so of course the sum is even better. I’m DROOLING over here.
I love when jelly is added. Awesome sandwich.
I would make a big platter of grilled pineapple topped with Nocciolata. If you haven’t tried it, do so at the earliest convenience. Yum!
Okay Lisa that sounds AMAZING!!!!
