Empty the brownie box into a large bowl.

Add 2 whole eggs (room temperature) to the bowl.

Add 1/3 cup of vegetable oil or canola oil.

Replace water with 3 tablespoons of brewed black coffee (cooled).

Beat the mixture for around 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.

Line a 9 by 13 inch pan with tin foil, allowing the foil to hang over the edges, and brush with a little oil.

Pour the thick brownie batter into the pan and spread it out evenly with an offset spatula.

Add 1/2 cup of large chocolate chunks evenly over the batter.

Place 1/2 cup of Nutella in a piping bag and drizzle it over the batter, using a toothpick to swirl it through.

Top with 1/2 cup of crushed almonds, scattering them over the batter.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for around 45 to 50 minutes, until the edges are cooked and the middle is still gooey.

Let the brownies cool for around an hour before cutting and serving.

Drizzle more Nutella on top before serving.
