Tips & Tricks
For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them. They will continue to cook as they cool.
Use high-quality chocolate chunks for the best flavor.
Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent the Nutella from melting.
