These moist, fudgy brownies started out as an impromptu experiment when I realized too late I was out of baking chocolate. Now it's one of my favorite brownie recipes! The Nutella® and Frangelico® give them a distinctly nutty flavor without interrupting the smooth texture. I love these brownies with cold milk or hot coffee.

Step 2

Melt butter, hazelnut liqueur, and chocolate-hazelnut spread together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until starting to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly.
Step 3

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Step 4

Beat white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; slowly mix in butter mixture until smooth. Stir flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture just until batter is combined; fold in chocolate chips, if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool brownies in pan for at least 2 hours before cutting.

I made the Nutella Brownies. I did not have any hazelnut liqueur, so I added 1/3 cup water in its place. This made a delicious brownie. Very thick and fudgelike. I would definitely make this again. Read More

I didn't have any hazelnut liquor on hand so I substituted with Kahlua. Still very good and moist! By far one of my favorite brownie recipe to date. Read More

OMG. These are by far the best brownies I have ever made, and probably in the top 5 of brownies I've tasted. I omitted the liquor. I may have thrown in a shade more butter than is called for and I also like to put a pinch of salt in all my desserts, even ice cream. Anyway, the consistency of these is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. They have the nice shell on top and are the perfect consistency throughout, even after a couple of days. (They only lasted that long because I portioned them up in the week's meal prepping.) Do yourself a huge favor and make these. You won't regret it. Read More

Delicious! Just a small change: I did not have Frangelico liqueur so I substituted it for freshly brewed espresso. I typically don't like very sweet things and always cut back on the sugar in recipes. However because the espresso is very bitter I used the full amount of sugar plus a few tablespoons more and the brownies came out perfect. I added mini semisweet chocolate chips too. Cooled for two hours (very important) and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Note: I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9x11 pan for approximately 25-27 minutes. Read More

I love this recipe. I have made it several times and it is always great. This time I added chopped hazelnuts for a twist. I also sent these in for a bake sale so I baked them in cupcake wrappers for 16 minutes. Read More
