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.
