The availability of chocolate was low around this time because most of the world's armies issued rations of chocolate to their soldiers. The lack of supply led many to try creative new approaches. In 1946 Pietro Ferrero created a spread made of tiny amounts of chocolate and plenty of inexpensive hazelnuts. Although it wasn't a new idea, his formula was, making it much more affordable to regular folk! Ferrero's son created the final Nutella product and perfected the formula in 1964
