Nutella Brownies...(Are you drooling yet?)

There are some things in life that are without a doubt comforting...grandma's cooking, Snuggies, cuddling with that certain someone...all three at the same time!  But since my grandma can't cook, I haven't made up my mind whether I like Snuggies or not, and I am currently unattached (am I getting your sympathy yet?), I go to brownies...ok, and wine.
I buy Nutella in bulk, like, monthly.  That's how much is eaten in my house.  The go-to Nutella use is on toasted bread.  Here is an alternative.  NUTELLA ! BROWNIES !....oh yeah, I went there.  And I go there on a regular basis.  I added peanut butter chips, because how do you make chocolate better?  You add peanut butter, that's how.  These brownies are fudgey, chewy and should be added into your regular baking routine, seriously.


What you need:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup Nutella
• 1/2 brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and brought to room temp

What you do:

Preheat your oven to 325.  Prepare a 9 inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with non stick spray.  

In a small bowl, sift flour and salt together.  Set aside.  In another bowl, mix Nutella, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla on low speed until well incorporated and creamy...about 2 minutes or so.   Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the melted butter.    Spread in your pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.  I started to check mine at about 25 minutes.  You want the center to be just set, if you like them fudgey like I do.
