Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 (19.5 ounce) box Pillsbury® Family Size Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
- ½ cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil
- ¼ cup water
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup chopped hazelnuts, plus
- additional chopped hazelnuts, for garnish
Hazelnut Frosting
- ¼ cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup Jif® Chocolate Flavored Hazelnut Spread
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
Directions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions using oil, water and eggs. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped hazelnuts. Fill baking cups 3/4 full.
Step 2
Bake 30 to 32 minutes or until centers are set. Cool 2 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire racks.
Step 3
For Frosting: Beat shortening, butter and chocolate hazelnut spread in a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and 1 tablespoon of milk. Beat slowly until combined. Beat on high, 3 to 5 minutes, adding an additional 1 tablespoon milk at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
Step 4
Frost cupcakes by placing frosting into corner of resealable plastic bag. Cut 1/2-inch off corner of bag. Starting at outside edge, work in circular motion to build up frosting moving towards center, creating a swirl effect. Sprinkle with reserved chopped hazelnuts.
