When you have a snack attack, who you gonna call? Chocodilla!
I don’t quite remember where I first heard of a Chocodilla. From the name, I thought it would be a giant chocolate Godzilla or something. It’s actually a fast food creation by Taco Bell consisting of chocolate in a tortilla.
Available in other countries but not in the US. I thought I can easily make that. And to make it super easy, I won’t even worry about melting any chocolate, I’ll just make it with Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter. And I’ll throw in a banana, you know, to health it up.
Lately, I’ve been seeing chocolate hazelnut spread everywhere. Sadly, most brands have sugar as their first ingredient. Except Justin’s, which list hazelnuts and almonds first. Sure it’s a bit more pricey, probably because there’s more nuts in it. But I usually only get a jar when it’s on sale.
No need for a recipe really, it’s so easy and simple. Just slather the chocolate spread on a warmed up tortilla (I used sprouted whole grain tortillas). Place sliced bananas on one side and fold in half. Cut into wedges and eat. Such chocolatey goodness!
You could also fry it up in a lightly-buttered skillet but I figure I don’t really need the extra butter. But if you’re going to go all out, instead of a banana, have marshmallows and make it into a s’moredilla.

When it comes to nut butters, you really do get what you pay for… Justin’s is so worth it! I love the stuff but it’s definitely something to save for the occasional treat. In lieu of a crepe, a tortilla sounds like a quick, elegant snacking solution. :)
I like how you ‘healthed it up’ ! Looks lovely. If that was a corn tortilla, and smelling it cooking in coconut oil…..my my!
this sounds like Nutella, which is AMAZING! my friend just made me Nutella and banana cupcakes. this looks so good!
Hannah – Yup, Justin’s is definitely worth the higher price.
india leigh – I haven’t tried a corn tortilla. At least not yet. :-)
LittleMonsterx14 – It is like Nutella, except Nutella has sugar and palm oil as its first ingredients. And it has skim milk so it’s not vegan.
I had a sample pouch of Justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter that never made it into a recipe — just directly into my mouth! It’s good, but I wish it were even less sweet.
Love Justin’s nut butters – I think the maple almond butter is my favorite, but I can’t resist chocolate if you put it in front of me! Chocolate and banana is always a good combination. This would be so good heated up!
I love Justin’s hazlenut spread, but as you point out it is mucho dinero! It goes so fast in this house too which makes the price stand out even more. I suppose if I rationed myself properly :-) I could justify buying it because I wanna make this!
Andrea – I know, can you imagine how sweet some of the other brands are with sugar as their first ingredient?
jodye – The maple almond is good too. I think I’ve tried all of the vegan flavors, somehow I always end up with the chocolate hazelnut.
luminousvegans – Oh yeah, you have to try it at least once. :-)
