Nutella Brownies

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp butter 3 oz dark chocolate
• 1/4 C nutella
• 1/2 C sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 C flour
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 C hazelnut, chopped

Method

Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a square baking pan with 2 sheets of aluminum foil perpendicular to each other. This makes the brownies really easy to lift out.

Roughly chop chocolate and cut butter into small pats. Melt butter and chocolate over a double boiler or on low power in the microwave.

Whisk in nutella, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add flour and mix until just incorporated (do not over mix).

Spread into baking pan and scatter chopped hazelnuts on top of the brownies. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

Start checking the brownies at 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies should come out with moist crumbs (if it comes out clean then the brownies have overbaked). It is better to underbake than overbake.
