I feel like I say this all the time, but this year is really flying by so far!

At the beginning of every year, I silently curse the months of January and February. Since I’m from the Midwest, we often get brutal winters, filled with negative temperatures and lots of snow. Yuck.

But when March rolls around, my spirits start to lift a little. Even though the cold and snow often still comes in March, and even April, it helps to know that spring officially starts soon and Easter is on its way.

And now that we’re in the second week of March (hooray!), I always look forward to baking some Easter goodies to share. And whether you celebrate this holiday or not, it’s hard to resist all of the pastel and spring decor that pops up at just about every store.

Since the hubster and I always spend Easter with both sides of our family, I try to think of a creative sweet treat to share every year. After all, I feel that’s my duty as a food blogger.

Now, you may have noticed that I don’t have any brownie recipes on Pumpkin ‘N Spice. Well, I have one, but it’s a creative take on a boxed mix, so that doesn’t really count.

Even though I haven’t had any brownies to share with you (until now), I have been thinking about it quite often. You see, it took me so long for me to finally perfect the best brownie recipe. I’ve been working on this for quite a while…months! And I could never get the consistency quite right.

Some were too dense, some too cakey, or not fudgy enough. And let me tell you…my qualifications for the “perfect brownie” is one that is thick, fudgy and chewy. Sure, I like the cakey kind, but my ultimate treat is the fudgy kind. You know, where you need a glass of milk to wash down all of the chocolate. That kind.

So when I finally got the recipe just right, I knew it would be the perfect debut for Easter. These Brownie Bites with Nutella Frosting are thick, fudgy, and chewy. Topped with a creamy Nutella frosting and made in bite-sized form, these make the ultimate treat!

Since I’m pretty much obsessed with Nutella, I just couldn’t resist adding it to these bites. Thick and fudgy brownies are one thing, but when you add in some Nutella…wowsers! It makes the most delicious flavor combination!

To start, you whisk the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. Then, you’ll melt two sticks of butter, some semi-sweet chocolate chips, and dark chocolate wafers (or chips) in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. I chose to use dark chocolate wafers (I used the Ghirardelli brand) because I love the taste and ease of melting.

Then, it’s time to beat the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and then slow incorporate the flour mixture. Finally, spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and let the oven work its magic.

When the brownie bites are cooled, prepare the Nutella frosting. And I won’t tell if you sneak a spoonful (or three) before frosting the bites.

Once you taste these Brownie Bites, I guarantee you’ll be hooked on the decadent flavor! Filled with a rich and fudgy texture, slightly chewy and thick, these bites are packed with deliciousness. And then there’s the frosting. The sweetness of the Nutella balances the rich chocolate just perfectly.

So if you’re looking for a decadent treat to share for your Easter celebration, these Brownie Bites with Nutella Frosting are sure to be the star of the dessert table!
