Flour, cocoa powder, and salt should all be mixed together with a whisk. Put away. Put sugar, melted butter, chocolate-hazelnut spread, and eggs in a big bowl.

Step 6

Place the pan on a metal rack and let it cool to room temperature. After that, put the bars in the fridge for at least three hours with the lid on.
