Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies with Hazelnut Buttercream
I’m not sure if it’s a thing or not but Easter always reminds me of hazelnuts. Are hazelnuts and Easter a thing? I dunno but I know that hazelnuts and chocolate go together like flowers and Springtime.
This had me setting out to create these Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies for Easter. These are delicious rich brownies filled with hazelnuts and topped with the most delicious hazelnut buttercream.
These are moist chocolate brownies and just a little dense but not gooey. But whether you love gooey brownies or less gooey brownies, please continue reading. It’s that lighter than normal texture that allows us to get away with smothering it in a layer of hazelnut buttercream.
