Recipe Time!

Today, I have a lot to do with schoolwork (even though school starts in 2 weeks), so I decided to leave you all with something fun! Baking is one of my favorite activities to do anytime, but especially when I'm stressed out. It's a great relaxer. Right before finals I made these with one of my friends and, I think you will love them if you're a Nutella Nut like me...


Enjoy!

Nutella Swirl Brownie Bites

Recipe adapted from Broma Bakery

Ingredients:

4 (one ounce) squares of Bakers unsweetened chocolate

3/4 cup butter

2 cups sugar (or 1 1/2 cups if you want them a little less sweet)

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup flour

1/2 cup Nutella

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Line a 24 mini muffin tin with muffin liners.
3. Microwave chocolate and butter in microwaveable bowl on high for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted (it takes a little while).
4. Put the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter/chocolate mixture to the sugar and stir until blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Now gradually add flour and mix well.
5. Use a small cookie/ice cream scoop to divide the batter into the muffin tins.
6. Put a small dollop of nutella on top of each brownie bite. Now take toothpick and swirl the nutella into the brownie (don’t mix it in, just swirl).
7. Put in oven and bake from 12-15 minutes.
