I am a total Nutella junkie. I can definitely be found eating it straight from the jar {I keep my own so it isn’t gross}. But, if you add Nutella to peanut butter, watch out. It is my all time favorite way to enjoy Nutella. In fact, I am pretty sure I invented the ultimate snack of toasted English muffins with peanut butter on one side and Nutella on the other {don’t bust my bubble if I didn’t, okay?}. I was looking for a way to combine my love of peanut butter and Nutella into a dessert {you know, besides pizza} and came up with peanut butter Nutella brownies. You can thank me later…I accept all kinds of wine 😉

Now, you can already predict that these brownies start with a mix. I am nothing but predictable. I am sure making brownies from scratch has its merits but I am sticking with the box out of laziness for now.
