I grabbed this recipe off a local magazine, edited it a little, and voila! It's really yummy.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 175 g unsalted butter , softened
• ½ cup unsweetened chocolate
• 3 eggs
• ¼ cup brewed coffee
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup caster sugar
• ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius Line a 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, with an extra 1cm on the sides.
2. Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate together over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and combined; leave to cool for 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together.
4. Whisk the eggs and coffee into the chocolate mixture. Add the flour mixture and sugar; stir well to combine.
5. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Swirl the Nutella into the brownies and bake for around 25 minutes. You'll want these to be fudgy and a little under-cooked when removed from the oven, but when they cool and firm up they're really good!
6. Alternatively, bake for 30 minutes for a cake-like texture.

WOW! These were awesome!! We love Nutella and this hit the spot. I used 3/4 c. butter and butter flavored shortening mix, strong brewed coffee, added 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp salt. I baked at 350 F for 25 minutes. Instead of swirling the nutella in, I frosted them with the whole jar. Oh, my! These were to die for! Super moist and delicious!

I followed your recipe exact and they truly are a great little brownie. I didn't taste much of the Nutella and was disappointed in that fact as I love Nutella. I think as Sweetslady did previously I should have added vanilla too as they were a bit dry. Maybe I baked them too long? All in all they were very satisfying~ Thanks Jermaine!
