Salted Chocolate & Hazelnut Brownies
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!

Recipe Reviews
My kids are a huge fan of these brownies !! We made them together and cut them into heart shaped pieces, the extra bits that we cut off we used as toppings for icecream :)
Really flavorful and easy to make would recommend it.
Delicious and very easy to make thanks so much for sharing it with us!
What is caster sugar and can i just use normal brown instead?
Wonderful hazelnut brownies the outcome was exactly how I imagined it to be soft on the inside with a slight crunch to it.
I added a few sprinkles in mine taste super yummy.
Wasn't a huge fan of this it's like taking a spoonful of sugar and stuffing it into your mouth.
Mine didn't look as tasty as the photo but it was extremely good.
Best brownie recipe I've found on any cooking site this is actually soft and good.
Absolutely love me some brownies and these were sooo freaking good.
Baked this to perfection and topped it with some caramel mmm mm!!!
I actually think that it was kinda bland and didn't have that chocolately taste that it's suppose to.
Nicely made recipe simple to follow and has a great texture to it too.

I only had some unsalted butter in the fridge but luckily there wasn't any weird taste and the brownies still turned out great.
I love it! Thanks!
