We love Nutella just about as much as we love brownies. Our loves collide in these rich chocolate squares that look like ordinary brownies but bloom, when you take a bite, with hazelnut goodness of everybody’s favorite crêpe spread. What’s also sweet about this recipe is how easy it is: no chopping chocolate into little pieces, no melting over double boilers—just whisking eggs into Nutella straight out of the jar, before folding in flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Stir in the eggs, making sure they’re smoothly incorporated. 
Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, using a spatula or large wooden spoon to mix to a smooth batter (be careful not to overmix or your brownies will end up tough). Fold in the optional hazelnuts.
Cut into squares when cool.
