The flavor I tried out was the original chocolate hazelnut. I completely understand why people put this on toast now or with bananas. It's good! I imagine rawtella is similar to Nutella and making it would be pretty fun. If you're feeling lazy, though, this is a neat product to have in your cupboard.
Speaking of things I have never tried... I've never had a meal of "real" french toast either! I was never fond of the prominent taste of egg and french toast was always too egg-y for me. The Chicago Diner has vegan french toast which I've had there. With this rawtella, I decided to make a vegan stuffed french toast. It was really tasty! It definitely is missing a certain taste of that egg wash feel, but it's a pretty good replacement.

Rawtella, Nutella, homemade nutella...I could eat any/all of it with a spoon! This French toast looks GREAT!
you might like to try adding some chickpea flour to your French toast mixture for more of an eggy taste and texture.
Oh, thank you for the idea! I'll have to try it out.
Where did you ind the rawtella? I'd love to get some.
You can find it online! I got it at a vegan cafe.
