Nutella Brownies

Nutella Brownies – fudgy brownies with hazelnuts and a rich Nutella frosting! A chocolate lovers dream! 

Happy Monday!

Happy first day of school for my kids!

You guys, this is the first year that all three of my kids are off to school.

I’m going to be ALONE. All by myself.

With no one asking questions.

All day long.

I have so much to do but I really just want to lie on the couch and watch everything on my DVR. Just because I can.

And let’s be real, I’ll probably stress eat some of these Nutella Brownies, too. My youngest hasn’t even been to daycare since he was a year old so this is kind of a big deal and I’m a little nervous that the first day will be rough.

Nutella Brownies!

I needed major comfort food over the weekend and ended up whipping these up.

I love a thick, fudgy brownie with nuts in them and since I’m having this thing with hazelnuts recently, I went with those.

And nutella frosting, of course. Because why have brownies without frosting when you can have brownies with frosting?

They taste like my favorite Ferrero Rocher candies! So good.

I could easily eat the entire pan of these. I’m not going to because I’m hoping for froyo tonight to celebrate a successful first day of school buuuuut know that I totally would.
