bars
Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine Nutella, butter, chocolate and powdered sweetener. Stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in hazelnut flour, protein powder and chopped hazelnuts.
Transfer to pan and press firmly and evenly into the bottom. Use a flat bottomed glass covered with parchment or plastic wrap to help press it in.
