Brownies. Pretzels. Nutella. You don’t really need to say any more about these little Nutella pretzel brownies. They’re a bit sweet. And a bit salty. And a bit nutty. They’re really, really good. The pretzels also add a nice crunchy outside, and the fudge brownies have a smooth, creamy chocolatey inside. Great for a crowd. Well, if you can keep people eating too many of them that is!
The Perfect Combination
I have to admit, Nutella’s rather addicting. It was tempting to not lick the spoon while frosting these Nutella pretzel brownies. It took all of the energy I had to stop myself.
Also try my chocolate with Nutella milk shake.
