Instructions

Step 1

Fudgy Nutella Brownies

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350℉. 

Step 3

Melt chocolate chips by microwaving for 30 seconds, then giving them a stir, then repeat microwaving for 15 seconds, then stirring, a few more times until the chocolate is smooth.

Step 4

While the melted chocolate is still warm, stir together the melted chocolate with the Nutella.

Step 5

Using a handheld or stand mixer, cream together the butter and both sugars for about three minutes. 

Step 6

Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again.

Step 7

Next, add the chocolate/Nutella and mix just until smooth.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Finally, add this to the wet ingredients and again mix just until smooth. The consistency of the batter will be quite thick, but no worries, this is to be expected.

Step 9

Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter into a greased 9″ x 9″ baking pan.

Step 10

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Also, give the brownie pan a shake. If there’s any jiggle, give them just a few more minutes and then they’ll be ready.

Step 11

Salted Caramel Sauce

Step 12

Add water to a small pot.

Step 13

Very carefully, pour the sugar into the center of the pot. Don't worry if the sugar is slightly higher than the water level, it will get soaked in as it cooks.

Step 14

Turn the heat to low-medium. Do not, I repeat do not stir and do not move the pot. 

Step 15

The sugar water will begin to bubble rapidly. Just leave it be (be very careful with this bubbling sugar water, it’s extremely hot and will burn you badly). 

Step 16

When it begins to turn a light amber color (this is caramelization!), remove it from the heat.

Step 17

Immediately add the butter and stir until melted. 

Step 18

Lastly, add the heavy whipping cream and whisk until smooth. Caramel sauce will thicken as it cools.

Step 19

Once the brownies are finished and have cooled a little bit, pour over the caramel sauce and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
