This Nutella brownie recipe is gooey, fudgy, and out-of-this-world. They will fill your kitchen with the smell of a bakery. This recipe is basically like making a regular brownie, but with more chocolate and there is no such thing as too much chocolate.
Why make fudgy Nutella brownies rather than regular brownies
Both brownies are super simple to make, but the Nutella brownies bring a deeper more pronounced chocolate flavor than the regular brownies. The Nutella also brings a smoothness to the brownie that we all enjoy. Oh and I use chopped chocolate, instead of cocoa powder. The chopped chocolate really highlights all the flavors and adds to the gooiness.
