Nutella Stuffed Brownie Bites with Cookie Dough Frosting

I recently shared about my love for Cookie Butter with my recipe for Cookie Butter Fudge. Today I am sharing about a different love for another delicious spread - Nutella!


I've been a fan of this stuff for quite some time now but just got around to baking with Nutella in this recipe for Nutella stuffed brownie bites. These brownies are so easy, using just a simple store bought brownie mix and a few other ingredients for the Nutella filling. I topped them with an AMAZING cookie dough frosting. 



The cookie dough frosting is very simple and tastes just like cookie dough. There are no eggs so it lasts and is safe! I would suggest using this frosting on anything! It would be great on cupcakes or cake, but it was especially good on these brownies.

Nutella Stuffed Brownie Bites with Cookie Dough Frosting
makes about 18 small cupcakes



Ingredients:
For brownies:

  • one package brownie mix (include ingredients on box listed to make it)
  • 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup Nutella 
For frosting:
  • 1/2 stick butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Whisk together Nutella and sweetened condensed milk, set aside. Prepare the brownie mix and pour into miniature cupcake tins. If you just want to make a pan of brownies, split the batter into two batches with the Nutella filling in the middle. If using cupcake tins, pour batter into paper liners and then put about 1/2 a teaspoon of the Nutella mixture into each one. Bake according to directions on the brownie mix.
2. Cream together butter and brown sugar at medium speed. Add vanilla and beat well. Mix in flour and salt until it is combined.
3. Gradually add in the milk and beat until fluffy. Fold in chocolate chips. Frost brownies once cooled.
