We’ll be honest: Of all the Mason jar gifts a person could make, homemade Nutella is the one that makes our heart skip a beat.

There is something so decadent — and fun — about recreating this traditional European treat at home and packaging it up to surprise family, friends or neighbors. Will you save money? Probably not.

But you’ll have a ball making this — and we think it’s even more delicious than the original.
