Description

Ingredients

• ¾ cup Nutella
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1½ cups dark brown sugar
• 2 oz. cream cheese
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 eggs
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla
• 1½ cups flour
• ¾ teaspoons baking soda
• ¼ teaspoons salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350. (If you have a convection oven, preheat to 325.)
• Cover a small baking sheet (one which will fit in your freezer) with parchment or wax paper. Drop the Nutella onto the sheet in nine dollops. Freeze the Nutella while you continue cooking.
• Spray a glass 8 x 8 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. The butter will melt and then bubble loudly. Continue cooking, keeping a close eye on it, until the butter starts to turn brown and smells toasty. As soon as it starts to brown, take it off the heat and pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer (or a mixing bowl if youre using an electric mixer).
• Add the brown sugar, cream cheese, and peanut butter to the butter and beat on high until just combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat to combine.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the 8 x 8 pan. Take the Nutella out of the freezer and press each dollop into the batter, roughly equal distances apart. Use a spatula to cover the tops of the Nutella with batter.
• Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. The blondies are done when the top is solid to the touch and it does not jiggle when shook. I recommend inserting a knife in the center to check the texture - the blondies should be soft but not liquid. (Make sure youre not digging the knife into a patch of Nutella.)
• When done cooking, cool completely on a wire rack. This will take a couple hours! You can speed up the cooling by placing them in the fridge.
