Fudgy Nutella Triple Chocolate Brownies Recipes

FUDGY NUTELLA TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang and spray with cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the brownie mix, oil, water, and stir to combine; don't overmix.
• Turn all but 1/2 cup batter out into the pan, smoothing the batter with a spatula as needed; reserve remaining batter.
• Evenly drizzle the Nutella over brownie batter in pan, lightly smoothing with a spatula as needed. Tip - Make drizzling and spreading the Nutella easier by microwaving it for 5 to 10 seconds.
• Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips.
• Evenly dollop the remaining 1/2 cup brownie batter over the chocolate chips, lightly smoothing with a spatula as needed. Note that remaining batter won't completely cover the surface and there will be 'bare patches' with exposed Nutella and chocolate chips.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until edges have set and center is no longer overly glossy or wet-looking. The toothpick test is very unreliable because you'll likely hit chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, or Nutella, making the toothpick look wet even though brownies are done. I err on the side of under-done than over-done and 25 minutes in my oven allowed for very fudgy, gooey brownies. If you prefer more well done brownies, bake a bit longer. The brownies firm up quite a bit as they cool.
• Allow brownies to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before drizzling with hot fudge, slicing, and serving. Brownies will keep airtight at room temp for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

FUDGY NUTELLA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Combine the chopped chocolate and butter in a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir the mixture occasionally until melted. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 3/4 cup/222 grams chocolate-hazelnut spread, sugar and eggs. Mix on medium-high for 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl a couple of times. Add espresso powder and vanilla and mix briefly to combine.
• Turn the mixer to low and stream in the chocolate-butter mixture. Mix until well combined, then fold in the flour and salt.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spread evenly with a knife or offset spatula and spoon several dollops of the remaining 1/4 cup/74 grams chocolate-hazelnut spread evenly over the top. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the spread and brownie batter a few times, leaving big streaks of the spread on the surface.
• Bake the brownies for 25 to 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. A toothpick inserted into the center should pull out some moist crumbs.

CHEWY, FUDGY TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350°F Spray 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
• Fold two 12-inch pieces of foil lengthwise so that they measure 7 inches wide. Fit one sheet in bottom of greased pan, pushing it into corners and up sides of pan; overhang will help in removal of baked brownies. Following illustration 1 below, fit second sheet in pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• In medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of almost-simmering water, melt chocolates and butter, stirring occasionally until mixture is smooth. Whisk in cocoa until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in medium bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture; then stir in flour with wooden spoon until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan, spread into corners, and level surface with rubber spatula; bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted in center comes out with a small amount of sticky crumbs clinging to it, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan using foil handles (see illustration 2, below).
• Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. (Do not cut brownies until ready to serve; brownies can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 5 days.).
