Nutella Experiment

My kids and I have found a new love in making brownies. At this point we have made about six batches of different types of brownies. We have made peanut butter brownies,chewy chocolate brownies,nutella and chocolate brownies and some that haven't turned out so well so we won't mention those. Brownies are so versatile you can add just about anything and it will come out delicious. The latest and greatest was nutella and chocolate brownies with ghiradelli chips. They were delish but very rich. Here is what we did:

 Gabe had a great time making these his favorite part was adding the chips at the end. Here is our recipe:
