Nutella Crunch Brownies
You know you made good when people come back for seconds right after they finished their first bars.
These brownies are one of it.
A chewy brownie base is topped with crunchy chocolate rice krispies, held together by chocolate and Nutella.You can of course use the original plain rice krispies. I used the chocolate ones to just re-inforce my excessive personality.
And having Nutella in any of your recipe is like having a latent insurance that your brownies will be in great demand. Trust me, i have done my market research.
I was half expecting the rice krispies to go soggy on me after being soaked in the Chocolate -Nutella mixture. But surprisingly, theystayed lightly crisp.
The chewy and moist brownie base was just of the right structure to support the frostings. You can lift each of these bars up without having the brownie base crumble upon you from the weight of the rice krispies frostings. Yet, they were also soft enough for your knife to slice through with the least resistance.
Like wise for the topping. I didnt refrigerate the brownies as i didnt want problems slicing through the hardened chocolate. But much to my delight, the frosting did set and dry on its own at room temperature resulting in a semi-soft, truffle-like consistency with crunchy bits from the rice krispies.
And i do love a good, dry chocolate surface. They are not as messy and you can easily stack them up together for storage. Not that these would be in storage for long though.

This sounds amazing! I wonder how this would taste with peanut butter instead of Nutella.

I am freaking out over this recipe. I thought that yesterday’s torrone looked amazing but these brownies…i don’t even know what to say. I love Nutella, I love rice crispie crunchy treat thingys and this just looks like something I could probably eat a whole tin of. I will definitely be making this recipe and giving 95% of it to my husband to take to work. Yummm!

Oh my, you are definitely killing me with these chocolate brownies. I can’t even think right now lol. I don’t need to tell you I love this recipe so I? Superb.
My family has always made something very similar to this just with peanut butter instead of Nutella. I think your idea sounds like a fantastic substitution.
That brownie looks like its hard to resist!
I am in! Gosh, can’t wait for a reason to make these yummers. Love that you included gram weights 🙂
