Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350. 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.

Bake 30-32 mins. or until centers are set. Cool 2 mins. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire racks.

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 Tbsp. of milk. Beat slowly until combined. Beat on high 3-5 mins., adding an additional 1 Tbsp. milk at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

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.
