Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Nutella
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the Nutella to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture should be glossy and rich.
- Crack the two large eggs into the mixture and whisk until fully combined. Ensure that the eggs are well blended into the batter.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bars to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 12 equal bars and serve. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Nutella Bars!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't Overmix: When adding flour, mix just until combined to keep the bars tender and soft.
- Pan Preparation: Use parchment paper with overhanging edges for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Check for Doneness: A toothpick with a few moist crumbs is perfect - avoid overbaking, which can dry out the bars.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat slices.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- Optional Enhancements: Try sprinkling sea salt on top or drizzling extra Nutella for an even more decadent experience!
