The FIRST time I ever tasted Nutella, I was on top of a partially snow-covered mountain in the middle of July.
We were on vacation with one of my good friends and her husband, when we were in our last stop on the trip…beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Before an afternoon of wildlife trekking through the Grand Tetons, we took the Jackson Hole lift up to Rendezvous Mountain. Being a native Texan, it was quite strange to see snow in July, but the cool weather was a such a nice change during the summer! At the top of the mountain was Corbet's Cabin, a very small restaurant, known for their waffles. We ordered freshly made, perfectly golden-crisp waffles that were folded like a sandwich, and FILLED with NUTELLA. It was heaven!

So, the point of this story…today on PINTEREST, I came across a recipe for Nutella Brownies. I'm a sucker for any type of brownies, but mixing Nutella in, I was sold! The recipe is from BunsInMyOven.com and I've included it below. They are fudgy, yummy, and wonderfully delicious! ENJOY!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup Nutella
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder, (I didn't use this ingredient…I don't like espresso!)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
10 ounce package Hershey's Milk Chocolate Baking Melts (or chocolate chips)
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup Nutella
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder, (I didn't use this ingredient…I don't like espresso!)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
10 ounce package Hershey's Milk Chocolate Baking Melts (or chocolate chips)
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13 baking dish.
In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter completely. Stir in sugar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow sugar mixture to boil.
Remove from the heat and stir in the Nutella until well combined.
Pour butter mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer, beat in cocoa powder, eggs, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the flour and baking melts until just combined.
Spread into prepared pan (batter will be very thick and sticky) and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until a tester comes out mostly clean. The edges should be set and the center should still look slightly moist, but not uncooked. Cool on a wire rack.
