Mocha Cappuccino Hazelnut Syrup

I made this syrup to go with these strawberry pancakes. However, the syrup overpowered the strawberry pancakes. Now don't get me wrong, this syrup was incredible tasty and would go perfectly well with some plain pancakes.

The syrup originally called for Nutella, but I happened to have a jar of mocha cappuccino hazelnut spread and used that instead. Yummy!!!

I ended up with extra syrup after we were done eating and as I was trying to figure out what to do with the leftover, my brilliant husband suggested adding it to my oatmeal in the morning. Man he is a genius. It made my oatmeal taste super yummy. I will be making this syrup again and again for my oatmeal and maybe even some plain pancakes!
