These were a HUGE hit at our family Mother's Day celebration over the weekend! The shortbread crust had the perfect hint of salt from the salted butter, and was a nice sturdy base for the rich brownie. I might have liked the Nutella flavor to come through a bit more, but overall they were delicious so no complaints! These were pretty quick and easy and I usually have these ingredients on hand, so this would be a good go-to for last minute desserts and/or potluck contributions.

My best friend asked that I bring a chocolate dessert for Thanksgiving, so I just had to try these. I halved the recipe, and did a rough chop on the hazelnuts before I added them to the batter. This is one of those ridiculously easy recipes with a great payoff. I will definitely be making these again.

Could not find roasted hazelnuts. Instead purchased raw, peeled hazelnuts and roasted in the oven for approx. 20 minutes at 275 degrees (until slightly browned & glistening with their oil). This recipe is definitely a home run!

A pregnant friend of mine has requested brownies. She is also a nutella nut. This is going to be perfect.

Really really nice, congratulations on the CP. My son has a severe peanut/nut allergy, so I will be trying a nut-free version ....

Hi! I tested these this weekend and noticed you don't have vanilla listed in your ingredient list. I emailed you through the site but maybe it did not go through. I ended up adding 1 t. They were delicious!

Hi! I never got your email (and I'm not on this site much so I didn't see your comment until now!) Thanks for testing these–I just added 1 tsp vanilla to the ingredient list. That is exactly how much I normally use, so thanks for noticing it was missing!

I made these for a bake sale on Saturday and they were gone in a flash! Wish I had made 2 pans! Thanks!

Thanks for all the comments :) These are pretty yummy I must say, but dangerous to keep in the house!!!

Oh, this is too funny. Brilliant minds obviously think alike! I make something similar, using a bit of salted peanut butter in the shortbread, and putting a layer of Reese's peanut butter cups (leftover from Halloween) between the shortbread and the brownie . . . . and a gingerbread variation, too, with lemon and anise in the shortbread. Not sure if I'll have time to post those recipes, given everything else going on right now. Love the nutella and hazelnuts, though!! ;o)

Oh, please post them! If not this week, later. BTW, apologies for the somewhat sappy message last night but it was late and I had had a really wretched day (I'll post about my Emergency Room Roast Duck later) and it just seemed like the only good thing that had happened that day! Your message really helped cheer me up!
