As the youngest of five, I am no stranger to sibling competition. So when my sister tasked me with crafting this recipe, I was immediately up for the challenge. The two of us have a dangerous obsession with Nutella. In an effort to curb our guilt from eating countless spoonfuls, she wanted a somewhat healthier option to satisfy the cravings. While I can’t claim this to be any sort of good diet item, it does beat eating a brownie (or a whole jar of Nutella, whichever the case may be). See full recipe below.
