NUTELLA FUDGE BROWNIES

These Nutella Fudge Brownies are decadent little bars with a dense brownie on rock bottom , Nutella fudge within the middle and chocolate on top. You cannot fail with this chocolatey confection!

The brownie may be a modified version of this very fashionable brownie recipe on my site. They're so loved for 2 reasons – they're tasty and that they are super easy to form . In fact not one to form things simple for myself, I made a decision to switch the brownie. The opposite one involves oil and that I decided to undertake it with butter. I also made a couple of other changes to form this brownie more fudgy and a touch less cakey.

NUTELLA FUDGE BROWNIES

The brownie is topped with fudge. Nutella fudge. I really like all things Nutella. It always amazes me when Nutella actually makes it into a recipe and doesn’t just land straight in my mouth on an enormous fat spoon.

The fudge is straightforward to form by combining sweetened milk , butter, chocolate and Nutella. Everything is melted and combined on the stove before being cover the brownie.

INGREDIENTS :

BROWNIE:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (I use Challenge Butter)
• 6 tbsp cocoa
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

FUDGE:

• 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 cups (9 oz | 254g) chocolate chips
• 1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

TOPPING:

• 1 cup (6 oz | 169g) chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp shortening

INSTRUCTIONS :

TO MAKE THE BROWNIE:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease a 9×9 baking pan or line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, which you can use to remove the brownies from the pan when they are done.
2. Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a medium sized bowl.
3. Add eggs and mix until well combined.
4. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in another medium sized bowl.
5. Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg mixture until well combined.
6. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

ONCE THE BROWNIE IS COOLED, MAKE THE FUDGE:

1. Combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, chocolate chips and Nutella in a metal or glass bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water.
2. Stir mixture until everything is melted and smooth, then spread evenly over the brownies.
3. Set brownies in refrigerator to set.
4. Once set, add chocolate chips and shortening for topping to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 15 second increments until the chocolate and shortening are melted and smooth.
5. Spread chocolate into an even layer over the fudge.
6. The chocolate should cool quickly and become firm. Cut into bars.
7. Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Brownies are best for 2-3 days, but should be ok for up to 4-5 days.
