Got Chocolate?

Need a quick and easy way to spruce up a regular ole' brownie? These are called Gianduja Bars from Giada @ Everyday Italian...


All I did was prepare a brownie mix (8x8 pan size so they are nice and thick) from the box and let them cool. I even think day old brownies work well. Cut brownies into squares and spread each brownie with Nutella (found in the peanut butter aisle). Sprinkle each of the brownies with chopped hazelnuts. Top the nuts with some mini chocolate chips. Place the brownies on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes at 375 degrees until the chocolate is starting to melt. Transfer the brownies to the refrigerator and let cool until the chocolate hardens, about one hour.

If you love chocolate, you will love these brownies. I promise. And don't forget the glass of milk.

  9. No I do not need ideas to spruce up brownies, because I have no self control as it is to just the plain old mix brownies. No. Self. Control.

    And ironically, I keep seeing lots of new brownie recipes lately.
