ISIS goes nuts for Nutella: Brutal Jihadists reveal bizarre soft spot for the chocolate hazelnut spread

• Militants posed with jars of Italian sweet treat while fighting in Syria and Iraq
• Images uploaded to Twitter, prompting militants to declare love for Nutella
• Some suggested a chocolate spread embargo would destroy ISIS' morale
• Others joked that 'Nutella is responsible for radicalising Muslims in the West'

ISIS militants fighting in Iraq and Syria have revealed a bizarre soft spot for the chocolate hazelnut spread Nutella.

Members of the jihadist group posed for photographs holding jars of the Italian sweet treat while standing in supermarkets inside the Islamic State - the group's self-declared caliphate.

The images were subsequently uploaded to Twitter - sparking an intense debate among the fighters and their supporters over the virtues of Nutella.

After the images of the Nutella-loving jihadists emerged on Twitter, a number of users joked that the spread could be the best way to put a halt to the group's expansion in the Middle East.

One Twitter user going by the handle @FatCated asked: 'Could an embargo on Nutella or Chupa Chups (a type of lollypop) destroy the morale of #IS mercenaries? #ISIS'

Another calling herself Ariane al-Britania joked: 'It is very possible that Nutella is responsible 4 the radicalization of Muslims in the West lol.'

It is not the first time ISIS militants have used social media to reveal their surprising interests.

In the wake of Hollywood actor Robin Williams' death earlier this week dozens of ISIS militants and sympathisers took to Twitter to express their love of his film Jumanji.
