Mini Nutella Brownies-4 Ingredients

Submitted by A Nice Czech Girl

"Nutella should be in a food group all by itself. Doubled the recipe for a small party-I thought they looked very elegant with the chopped hazelnuts on top and tasted like I fussed but oh so EASY! From the book "Desserts 4 Today: Flavorful Desserts With Just Four Ingredients" by Abigail Johnson Dodge."

So simple & good! I find Nutella (& most brands of gianduja) to be overly sweet, so I added chopped bittersweet chocolate, which was a nice contrast & suited my tastes.<br/> <br/>@Chilicat I have a 12 cup mini muffin pan; it's designed for toaster ovens & I love all my toaster oven pans: for my small family or girls' night in or anytime I don't need a large batch. :) PS love the idea of topping with a candy - any time there's more chocolate, is a good time! & so pretty.

This is such a simple recipe! I also doubled it to use my entire mini muffin pan (is there even such a thing as a 12-cup mini muffin pan?) and popped a Hershey's Drop on top of each brownie. They baked perfectly in 12 minutes and are nice and fudgy in the center. Honestly, you just can't go wrong with Nutella!! I found the recipe on a baking blog, but thanks for posting it here!
