Author Notes
I am the baker and lover of cooking in our family, the rest reaaally loves to eat it all. Every year over Christmas we stick to our classics as well as adding in new variations here and there, mostly on the side dishes though.
One solid classic that is demanded back EVERY year is this Ultimate chocolate crumble brownie for dessert. It has all the elements, chocolatty/ fudgy and nutty brownie, topped with sweet white (Belgian's BEST) Callebaut chocolate chips and a chocolate crumble. YUMMY!
My sister prefers to have it with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, myself i love it with just a cup of strong espresso. Hmm, let the holidays begin! x Karen —Karen Bergs

Remove the chocolate mixture off the au bain marie, put your hand mixer in the middle of the bowl on med-high speed, and add in the egg mixture untill smooth. Then add your sifted flour/ hazelnuts/ remaining chocolate chips and espresso shot and mix untill smooth.

Put all ingredients for the chocolate crumble into a bowl and use your hands to mix together and create crumbles from corn to olive size. Cover the top of the brownie with it. (here you can be as generous as you prefer!)
