BROWNIES
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup dark chocolate wafers or chips
- 1½ cups white sugar

NUTELLA FROSTING
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup Nutella
- 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 36-count mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, combine butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate wafer. Melt in the microwave over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. Stir in melted chocolate. Slowly stir in flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until brownies are set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in muffin tin.
- To make the nutella frosting, beat butter in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until incorporated.
- Add Nutella, heavy cream, and vanilla. Beat for about 3-4 minutes, or until light and creamy. Pipe or spoon frosting on top of cooled brownie bites.
