Salted Chocolate & Hazelnut Brownies

Recipe Description

These Salted Chocolate & Hazelnut Brownies are a really delicious take on traditional brownies. Chocolate and hazelnuts are a classic combination of course and the addition of salt to these brownies brings out the flavors of the ingredients. Salt stimulates the taste buds which helps to release flavors. 

To make these delicious chocolate treats, start by melting butter, dark chocolate and chocolate spread over a bowl of simmering water. Beat eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl and add the melted chocolate mixture. Sift in flour and add pecan nuts before transferring to a baking pan and baking in the oven until set, but still gooey in the center. Serve these brownies with caramel sauce and ice cream. Enjoy!
