Gooey reviews assert that the brand works as a lower-sugar, plant-based hazelnut cocoa spread: reviewers praise authentic hazelnut-cocoa flavor and vegan, no-palm-oil formulation but repeatedly note a gummy, sticky texture and occasional artificial sweetener aftertaste. Buyers who prioritize cleaner ingredients and intense hazelnut flavor often enjoy it; those seeking a Nutella twin or smoother, more chocolate-forward spread report disappointment.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Gooey is an all-natural alternative for hazelnut spread. I like it because of the low sugar and that it is dairy-free. The taste is rich but not overpowering, which I appreciate. It is also fairly affordable, which I am thankful for.

I bought Gooey because they had a good deal at the store and we wanted to try something new. My daughter is in love with the product. She randomly eats a spoonful when she gets a sweet tooth. It went from being something to try to being a household staple.

I like this hazelnut spread because it tastes good and has no downsides to it. I love that I don't have to worry about sugar intake when eating this, and an added plus is that it's dairy-free.

I’m an absolutely addicted to the stuff . It is vegan and all natural ! It has low sugar and no palm oil. I can’t get enough of it. It tastes so good! I would highly recommend this healthier version of a hazelnut spread.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this spread! Tastes better than the mainstream alternative. I’ve eaten it by the spoonful, on toast, on fruit and I’m trying to figure a way to get it in my coffee. Definitely hiding this one from the family.

The consistency is thicker than the name would imply but I actually like it that way!

I absolutely love Gooey. It has become a staple in my household! Whenever I am craving a sweet treat whether it be for breakfast or for a late night snack my new go-to favorite is Gooey! My most popular use for Gooey is on fresh fruit or on vanilla ice cream. The best part is that it’s totally guilt free!

I’d love to buy it in 2-packs!

Gooey hazelnut spread is absolutely incredible! It's rich, silky smooth, and bursting with real hazelnut flavor without being overly sweet. It spreads like a dream and instantly upgrades toast, pancakes, fruit, or even just a spoonful straight from the jar. I love that it’s made with quality ingredients—you can really taste the difference. Perfect for anyone looking for a more gourmet take on a classic spread. Five stars without a doubt!
I was a little skeptical trying this product because I'm often disappointed by the flavor or texture (especially when it's comparing itself to another product- in this case, nutella). As soon as I smelled this and tried it, I was in heaven! It is definitely a different texture than nutella but the flavor is spot-on. This is a fun replacement for my almond butter. I'm excited to think about the ways in which I can use this. Definitely something I'll be buying for my nutella-loving friends.
Nuts for hazelnut
I am just not sold it did not pass the toddler approval test and has been sitting in my cupboard. I’m glad that the promo made it free. It’s a great concept, but it does not satiate, and the taste is not equivalent to Nutella. Perhaps, if there was an actual less sugar Nutella dupe, I would be more apt to purchase that.
It's gooey, alright... perhaps to a fault. I tried some of the spread on its own and found that the texture was rather gummy and lacked that smooth taste of a regular nut butter. Not only that, but I also felt that the artificial sweetener aftertaste was rather obvious. However, after putting a thin spread on toast, I found that the aforementioned qualities of gumminess and the "fake sweet" taste greatly diminished. Overall, this does have a more forgiving macronutrient ratio than Nutella or other nut butters per serving, but the trade off isn't worth it to me.
Gooey spread was very strange to me. It is a hazelnut cocoa spread and I imagined Nutella like flavoring, but had some really strange aftertastes due to the fake sugars.
I am not a person worried about their health (yet), so for me, taste is almost always a bigger influencing factor than how nutritious a product is for you. Now if a product claims it is just as tasty yet healthier than a popular product, then I say sign me up. However, despite having great hopes for Gooey, it simply did not give me the same or better experience as eating Nutella. Perhaps it could be that Nutella was just so important to me in middle school and beyond that nothing could replace it, but I wouldn't say Gooey comes close to the same experience. First, it was quite tricky to spread onto my toast. That's pretty much the only thing I would use this spread for, so that was a bit disappointing. And when it came to the taste, it was not sweet enough to my liking. While I love the design and what the product is trying to do, it simply was not for me.

Work on the consistency to make it easier to spread on toast.
I had high hopes with this spread but I just could not find a way to enjoy it. It does not taste good plain or spread on other things. I wish it tasted more like chocolate.

I had really hoped to like this spread as I have a huge sweet tooth and love things like peanut butter and chocolate hazelnut spread. This is a stickier texture though and has a very strange taste, almost like something is wrong with it.
This is an interesting take on a healthier version of Nutella. I liked the cocoa and hazelnut flavor. I liked that it wasn't too sweet, had no palm oil, and is vegan. The texture was a little gummy, kind of like cake icing that is starting to congeal— it's yummy in a weird way.
Taste is a bit odd, but not bad
This spread has a weird taste but is quite good once you get used to it. They used to have a fully sugar free version which I hope that they bring back. The sustainability is what stands out about Gooey most to me: no palm oil and 100% plant-based! <3
So this is YUMMY. My sister can't eat sugar, gluten, dairy or soy and I found this while looking for something sweet for her. Let me tell you, this stuff is really really good. It tastes just like Nutella but without the added sugar and dairy. Dip pretzels in this stuff if you want your mind blown.

Like the name says, it's gooey (actually almost slimy). I don't notice a weird texture at all when eating it, but sometimes it slides off a knife which is strange.
My new favorite spread... but truthfully it rarely gets past the spoon. I've officially broken up with all other hazelnut spreads because Gooey is the real deal.

Can it come in a bigger jar? Asking for a friend ;)
