Meanwhile, fans across the world have been getting food envy - a 'Nutella' burger is being launched in Italy.

The arrival of the "Sweet with Nutella" was previewed on the company's  Italian Facebook page.

It is a sweet bread with a thick Nutella filling which will be sold in its McCafes.

Italy is the home of Nutella, last month the company told Newstalk about its plans to ride-out an international hazelnut shortage (the spread's main ingredient).

Ferrero uses 25% of all of the world's hazelnuts. The chocolate spread was invented in Italy during WWII when a coca shortage led Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker from Piedmont in Italy, to create the hazelnut-based treat using just a little of the rare coca reserves.
