Hot Mama Notes: This is an excellent dish!!! I can't wait to make it again soon!! I don't know that the family loved it as much as me, but I really liked it. Enough that I don't necessarily care that they don't! ;D It is a bit labor-intensive however, not one of those 15 minute meals.

Original recipe from: http://awesomecookingrecipes.com/2015/07/05/what-you-can-do-with-nutella/
Nutella Brownies = 1 c Nutella + 10 T flour + 2 eggs. 350F for 25 minutes. Yum. Pinterest FTW! Garnish with chopped hazelnuts. :)
Hot Mama Notes: These were good, but nutella is expensive. 1 cup is a lot. A 99-cent brownie mix is cheaper than using nutella, for sure, but it was good for the novelty factor. I had wanted to try it, and I did. It was tasty, but not fantastically delicious. I probably won't make these again. They do taste like nutella. :)
