Nutella Brownies ~

4 Ingredients} Nutella Brown
I’m very excited to share with you today’s recipe for Nutella brownies. My excitement has nothing to do with the fact that anything made with Nutella tastes better. However, I’m excited because this recipe only contains only four ingredients!!! Now you may be asking yourself right this minute on whether or not you can trust a brownie recipe with only four ingredients. This is a fair question I will address because I had some skepticism myself. But rest assured, these little hazelnut chocolate bites are well worth the 3 minutes (if that) it took for me to mix the batter and the 12 minutes it required to bake !



Back to the brownies. The texture of the brownies are more similar to a gooey cake.. .molten lava cake to be exact. If you’re hoping for a chewy brownie, these are not it. Instead, they are more like super moist cake except the brownies literally melt in your mouth. The recipe makes exactly 12 mini cupcake sized bites and it is hard not to eat them all in one setting. I can already tell these little chocolate bites of yumminess are going to become my regular late night pick me up snack.
I should also mention, this recipe does not require a mixer and children can easily whip up a batch. Enjoy!
