I’m not an expert here, but having read the article, the problem with mixing sugar with fats is that you have to add a lot more sugar in order to taste it, vs mixing in water. This mixture makes it so you have to use a lot less. So, rather than just making it less sweet, you can have the same level of sweetness with a lot less sugar. And, for what it’s worth, it’s not exotic chemicals at work. It’s a flavorless oil and extremely finely ground sugar. I can’t say how well this works, having not tasted it myself, but the idea of having Nutella that tastes exactly as sweet as what you can buy now, only with a fraction of the sugar sounds like great news.

you can buy it with reduced sugar. at target they have “good and gather” reduced sugar hazelnut spread. Nutella is just a brand name, many different brands with no/lower sugar if you want to buy it.

But, it’ll taste like it has less sugar. This article claims this will make it taste the same using less sugar. There’s a difference.
