Nutella brownies

We don’t need another brownie recipe—but a Nutella brownie that brings together rich brownie batter, gooey chocolate chips, and silky hazelnut spread? Absolutely. These Nutella brownies are packed with triple chocolate flavor, using two box mixes, 6–9 ounces of your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread, and a generous helping of chocolate chips. Ready in under an hour and dangerously delicious, they’re perfect for bake sales, potlucks, or late-night cravings. Best of all, they freeze well—if they even last that long.

Mixing the Nutella batter

Box brownie mixes vary but they all have some combination of the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. The ingredients are on the back of the box. The ingredients can be mixed by hand, with a hand mixer, or with a stand mixer. However you like to make the batter, the nutella and chocolate chips are added at the end. You don’t have to be absolutely exact with the nutella and chocolate chips. The recipe calls for six to nine ounces of nutella and six to nine ounces of chocolate chips. That is about ½ to ¾ of the jar of nutella and about ½ to ¾ of the bag of chocolate chips. It is very easy to measure. It all comes down to how chocolaty you like it. You can add a little or a lot. Make it your own!

Baking

Place the prepared brownie batter in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 30 minutes. Then cover and cook for another 10 minutes.  Carefully test your brownies with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean you are good. They can be taken out. If not, bake for 4-5 minute intervals until the toothpick comes out clean.  Make sure to keep the brownies covered while they finish baking. Cut the brownies when they have cooled completely. 

The brownies can be frozen for 2-3 months. Bring them up to room temperature before serving. Serve the Nutella brownies with my vanilla ice cream!

FAQ’s

What makes Nutella Brownies different from regular brownies?

Nutella Brownies, or Trinity Brownies, combine boxed brownie mix with Nutella and chocolate chips, creating a rich, fudgy, triple-chocolate treat that’s both easy and decadent.

How much Nutella and chocolate chips should I add?

Use 6 to 9 ounces of each. That’s approximately ½ to ¾ of a standard jar of Nutella and ½ to ¾ of a typical bag of chocolate chips—adjust based on your chocolate preference.

Can I use any brand of boxed brownie mix?

Yes! You can use your favorite brand—just follow the directions on the back of the box and add the Nutella and chocolate chips at the end.

Do I need any special equipment to mix the brownies?

No special equipment is required. You can mix by hand, with a hand mixer, or with a stand mixer—whichever you prefer.

Why do the brownies need to be covered during part of the baking process?

Covering the brownies for the last 10 minutes helps them bake evenly and stay moist without overcooking the top.

How can I tell when the brownies are fully baked?

Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, they’re done. If not, bake in 4-5 minute increments, keeping them covered until ready.

Can I freeze the Brownies?

Yes, you can freeze them for 2–3 months. Just let them return to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
