How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in ⅓ cup finely chopped hazelnuts.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  9. Spread ½ cup Nutella evenly over the cooled crust.
  10. Sprinkle with the remaining ⅔ cup chopped hazelnuts.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the Nutella to set before cutting into 24 bars.
