Nutella is a sweet, creamy spread made from roasted hazelnuts and cocoa. It has a thick, paste-like consistency at room temperature, which is why I recommend warming it slightly for easy spreading between the cookie dough layers in this recipe.

What’s in Chocolate Chip Nutella Bars?

This recipe uses pantry staples: unsalted butter , brown sugar , an egg , and vanilla extract for the wet mix. The dry ingredients are all-purpose flour , baking soda , and salt , plus chocolate chips . The star is the Nutella layer sandwiched in the middle.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes. Double all ingredients and use a 9x13 inch baking pan . The baking time will increase slightly; start checking at 25 minutes . The bars will be thicker, so ensure the center reaches 200°F and springs back lightly before cooling completely.

Do these Nutella bars freeze well?

They freeze perfectly for up to 6 months . Cool the bars completely, cut them, and layer squares between parchment paper in an airtight container. Reheat from frozen at 300°F for 10 minutes to restore that fresh, gooey center.
