Chocolate Hazelnut Tart

This beautiful tart uses Hazelnut Biscuits as the base, and nutella, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and a splash of vanilla for a decadent filling. After this finishes baking, it will resemble a large brownie, and when you taste it, it’ll remind of you the best brownie you’ve ever had, but with hazelnuts!
