Triple Chocolate Nutella & Peanut Butter Brownies

This recipe was created just because I am a Nutella junkie and the fact that I had 2 boxes of brownie mix in the cupboard that was begging me to make them.   I had recently made some Nutella stuffed blondies (not my recipe) and they were such a big hit that I thought why couldn't I do something similar with the brownies?   This is what I've come up with and I was very pleasantly surprised on how mouth watering these really are.  If you love the combination of Nutella, peanut butter and chocolate like I do then you must try these.   The blending of the melted chocolate chips and the creamy layer of the Nutella & peanut butter make these brownies mouth watering divine!

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE NUTELLA & PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED BROWNIES

Ingredients:

2 boxes of triple chocolate brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker Supreme Triple Chunk Brownie Mix)

¾ cup of Nutella

½ c peanut butter.   ( you can adjust the amount of Nutella and peanut butter to your taste)

Directions:

Preheat oven to temp on the box

Lightly spray a 12X9 in pan with cooking spray.

Mix 1 box of the brownie mix according to package directions and spread evenly in the pan.

Bake it for no more than 10 min.   Take it out and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Mix together the Nutella & peanut butter in a small bowl.

Spread Nutella mix over the partially baked brownies do not spread all the way to the edge – leave about ½ inch.

Mix up the 2^nd box of brownies and gently spoon that over the top – it’s thick so cover the best you can.  I put in on in heaping tablespoons and place them where I need them and spread it a little bit at a time.

Bake for approx. 25 minutes.      Once removed from oven let it cool for a few minutes and run a knife around the edge then let it cool for about 15 min. before cutting into squares.

*You can mix up your own brownie mix from scratch but double the recipe, add 1 cup of chocolate chips and then follow directions from pouring ½ of mix in to start.   Bake at 350.

Enjoy!
