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!
