Nutella Mini Brownies

Our family discovered these tasty little treats on someone else's blog by accident.  We can't seem to get enough of them and I have been making them every weekend for the past three weeks.  I even made them to hand out to the ladies after my lesson last week.  They disappeared without a single complaint (and there were none left to take home either!)  Anything that good deserves a place in the archives of my blog.  I hope you love them as much as we do!

Nutella Mini Brownies

• 1/2 C Nutella spread
• 1 Lg egg
• 5 T. Flour
• 1/4 C Hazelnuts (I used chopped walnuts)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a medium bowl whisk until completely blended
3. Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners
4. Fill the muffin liners with the batter (approx. 3/4 full)
5. Sprinkle with nuts
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes.  Toothpick will come out moist with crumbs attached.
7. Cool completely (if your kids will leave them alone) on a cooling rack and serve immediately.

Word of warning, I double this recipe (quadrupled it for church) and never manage to save any until the next day.  a single recipe would give you approximately 24 of the little gems, double would be 48.  They are tiny (about the size of a truffle) and pack a lot of flavor in every bite.  Don't let the ingredients fool you.  These are practically perfect in every way!
