. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until smooth.
. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold gently until just combined.
. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
. Dollop spoonfuls of peanut butter onto the batter, then use a knife to swirl it into the chocolate mixture.
. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the top.
. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
