Equipment

  • 1 8x8 square baking pan

Ingredients
 

  • 10 tablespoon (140 g) unsalted butter see notes
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup (150 g) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup (95 g) hazelnut spread
  • 16 kinder bueno chocolate pieces

Optional

  • ½ cup (100 g) chopped chocolate Use 60-70% dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chips)
  • chopped hazelnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

For the Brown Butter

  • Melt butter in a medium sauce pan on medium heat. Stir the butter to make sure it melts evenly. Once the butter is completely melted, it will start to foam up. Continue stirring the butter. As it cooks, it will start to change into a deeper color. This could take 6-8 minutes.
    You'll start to notice a nutty aroma and the butter will begin to have brown specs at the bottom of the pan. The entire process of browning butter from start to finish should not take more than 10 minutes on medium heat.
    10 tbsp (140 g) unsalted butter
  • Once butter is browned, pour it into a heat proof bowl and set it aside to cool for about 5 or 10 minutes.

For the Blondies

  • Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, add cooled butter and sugar and mix using a spatula until combined. Add the egg, yolk, vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Then, add the salt and the flour and mix until incorporated. Lastly, add dollops of hazelnut spread and swirl into the batter a few times (don't over mix).
    1 cup (220 g) brown sugar, 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, 1½ tsp vanilla extract, 1¼ cup (150 g) all purpose flour, ½ tsp salt, ⅓ cup (95 g) hazelnut spread
  • OPTIONAL: You can mix in dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts to lessen the sweetness and give it more flavor and crunch.
    ½ cup (100 g) chopped chocolate, chopped hazelnuts
  • Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spread it out with an offset spatula, and if desired, you can drizzle some extra hazelnut spread on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes (mine baked for about 23 minutes). You'll see the sides get a little light brown and the middle will have puffed up some. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Don't overbake.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then add pieces of Kinder Bueno and drizzle with melted hazelnut spread. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Butter:
  • Once butter is browned, it should measure out to about 110-120 grams, depending on the type of butter you're using. If it's butter with a higher fat content, you'll end up with more browned butter in the end.
  • I have used both salted and unsalted butter, and either one will work. I've found that when I use salted butter, it balances out the sweetness and adds more flavor. When I use salted, I keep the same amount of additional salt and don't change any of the recipe.
