  • 2 1/2 cups chocolate-hazelnut spread such as Nutella

  • 3 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Bake until the surface looks set and slightly crisp, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

1. Do not overbake these brownies. The 'slightly crisp' surface indicates a fudgy interior. Overbaking will result in a dry, cakey texture, losing the signature brownie chewiness.2. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother, more uniform batter. This helps prevent lumps and promotes even baking.3. Use a good quality chocolate-hazelnut spread for the best flavor profile. The spread is the dominant flavor, so its quality directly impacts the final product.4. Allow the brownies to cool sufficiently before cutting. This ensures clean cuts and prevents them from falling apart, making them easier to handle and serve. You can even chill them briefly for extra neatness.
