Is it weird that Nutella isn’t my most favorite thing?
I mean, I like it and all, but I would choose peanut butter any day of the week before Nutella.
Which is actually against pretty much everything I stand for…
Seeing as how peanut butter is WAY cheaper than Nutella…
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that less expensive things aren’t just as good as pricier options…
It just seems that if there ever is a more expensive choice out there, guaranteed that I will unknowingly choose it all day every day.
It’s like a genetic mutation.
Which of course I blame my parents for.
BUT while I’ve found that Nutella isn’t my most favorite, it still ranks. Right there above Jam and right below Cream Cheese.
There is a defined spreadable topping hierarchy living in my brain.
I know. Nutcase.
So let’s enjoy my third favorite “spreadable” on a blondie today.
Oh yeah, and let’s add some browned butter. Because, yeah.
Browned Butter Nutella Swirled Blondies.
These guys are super easy. Start with a fairly basically blondie recipe..but brown your butter first.
You just should.
Press that into a foil lined pan…
Then comes the fun part.
Drop your Nutella all over the top of the dough…
And then swirl it in!
When they’re cooled they will look like this…
Glorious.

Sigh…brown butter…so good!
I agree! It ain’t my fave either, but I still like it and can definitely dig it in these blondies!
I totally get it. I love Nutella too, but I never really got the craze it inspired. Like, it’s good, but I don’t know if it’s THAT good. But these definitely look THAT good. 🙂
Not sure which ranks higher PB or Nutella, I love them both! And Browned butter with Nutella = heaven!
I think I love peanut butter better also, but I will never say no to a nutella-infused dessert. Or a nutella-topped spoonful. that’s just true.
These bars look out of this world good! Nutella and browned butter = magic.
Just found a “spare” jar of Nutella in the cupboard…Now I know what to do with it! Boozy version, of course. 😉
I prefer cookie butter over Nutella and can definitely see swapping it out for Biscoff/TJ’s Cookie Butter. YUM!
You just put 3 of my fav things together!
Oh MY!
These look like puuuure heaven! Yum!
