Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (two 4-oz. sticks)

  • 7 ounce dark chocolate, chopped

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon hazelnut extract or vanilla

  • 5 eggs

  • 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process

  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature

  • ½ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread

  • 1 cup roasted salted hazelnuts, chopped

  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.

  2. In a large bowl combine butter and chocolate. Microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.

  3. Whisk sugars, 1 tsp. salt, and the hazelnut extract into chocolate mixture. Slowly whisk in four of the eggs until just incorporated.

  4. Sift together 1 cup of the flour and the cocoa powder; add to melted chocolate mixture. Gently stir until just incorporated. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.

  5. In a medium bowl whisk together the remaining egg and 1 Tbsp. flour. Stir in cream cheese and chocolate-hazelnut spread until smooth and uniform.

  6. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on batter. Using a skewer or the tip of a knife, swirl mixtures together. Sprinkle with hazelnuts and chocolate chips.

  7. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until slightly puffed, corners have darkened, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few fudgy crumbs and no wet batter. Cool completely. Makes 24 brownies.
