Peanut Butter-Hazelnut Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder (non-alkalized)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Dash salt
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup hazelnut-chocolate spread

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.

Melt the butter over low heat; when melted remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, and mix well.

Mix the peanut butter and chocolate spread in a small microwave-proof bowl, and heat in the microwave until it reaches a runny consistency. Stir the mixture into the batter; then pour it into the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
