Nutella Brownie Bites

I apologize for this picture.  They were much better than they look.  I was taking these to one of my daughter's houses for her first "dinner party" and I didn't have much time for picture taking.  She invited all of  us over for dinner for the first time since she has been married and she decided she would make Beef Wellington.  It was a delicious meal and everything turned out perfectly.  I think the first meal I made for my family after I got married was hot dogs but things have changed in 33 years and obviously for the better.

Ingredients:

4 squares of Bakers unsweetened chocolate

3/4 cup unsalted butter

2 cups sugar

3 eggs 

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup flour

1/2 cup nutella

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a mini muffin tin with muffin liners.  Microwave the chocolate and butter in a microwave safe dish on low until butter has melted.  Stir until chocolate is completely melted.  This takes a few minutes.

Put the sugar in a large mixing bowl.  Add the butter/chocolate mixture to the sugar and stir until blended.  Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.  Now gradually add the flour and mix well.

Use a small cookie/ice cream scoop to divide the batter into the muffin tins.  Put a small dollop of nutella on top of each brownie bite.  Now take a toothpick and swirl the nutella into the brownie mixture.  Put in the oven and bake from 10-13 minutes.   This made 30 brownie bites.  

Enjoy!  Susan
