Swirled White Chocolate + Nutella Brownies

Remember the White Chocolate Nutella that I totally fangirled over last week? Well, I hope so, because it was quite the moment. At first taste (smell & sight too), I knew that my spreadable concoction would become the base for many many delicious desserts. Immediately after making my homemade Nutella, I went to work with my stand mixer. I'm certain that there will be plenty of white chocolate hazelnut recipes in the future, but let's start with this one. If you're more of a regular Nutella fan, no fear! This recipe is the best of both world. Because there's nothing better than coupling white chocolate Nutella with straight up, regular Nutella. 

The swirled brownies came from one of my favorite recipes for fudgy and super moist Nutella brownies. This go around, I cut the recipe in half and mixed one bowl with regular Nutella and the other with my white chocolate version. Um, best decision ever? I think yes. 

These brownies are legit.  Like crazy delicious eat-the-whole-pan legit. For real —  these are a gift sent straight from the Nutella gods. I'm just imagining a group of Roman gods slowly churning away at a giant batch of Nutella. They'd be proud. For sure.
