The ultimate Ferrero Rocher Brownies! These super decadent and easy Ferrero Rocher fudge brownies with Nutella are packed full of chocolate hazelnut. Guaranteed to give you at least one full Ferrero Rocher in every brownie (plus a bit in each bite!), these are sure to be a favorite!
Ingredients
- Eggs - large eggs, best at room temperature.
- Oil - a flavorless oil is best in this recipe. Something like canola oil or sunflower oil will be perfect. You can use olive oil, but this will have a subtle flavour that will impact the overall flavor of the brownie. I wouldn't recommend using olive oil unless you know that you like olive oil in your bakes.
- Water - just normal drinking water. This doesn't need to be especially cold, but shouldn't be warm or recently boiled.
- Vanilla extract - vanilla is super important as flavoring in bakes and cakes. Don't skimp on the vanilla! Even when this is not the dominant flavor, a good quality vanilla will shine through and improve the bake.
- Flour - either all purpose flour or plain flour will work in this recipe.
- Cocoa powder - a good quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder works best in this recipe.
- Powdered sugar - also known as icing sugar or confectioner's sugar. You may wish to sift yours if it is particularly lumpy. This will help you mix it more smoothly into your batter.
- Sugar - superfine granulated or caster sugar.
- Salt
- Nutella - I use Nutella, but any chocolate hazelnut spread will work in this recipe.
- Ferrero Rocher - these chocolates are key to this brownie! You can use similar products here, but this recipe is based around the classic Ferrero Rocher chocolate hazelnut sweets.
How to Make Brownies with Ferrero Rocher
These decadent chocolate brownies with Ferrero Rocher are incredibly simple to make!
You'll want to start with preheating your oven and lining an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper. This will make your life a lot easier when it comes time to slice and serve these super fudgy brownies!
The process for making these follows the same basic steps as my other brownie recipes, such as my easy Mini Egg Brownies. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients - the eggs, oil, water and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients - the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, sugar and salt. Add the dry to the wet and stir with a spatula until just combined.
Pour half of the batter into the lined pan, then dollop teaspoons of the Nutella spread over the top. Swirl the Nutella into the layer of brownie batter before adding the remain brownie batter on top. Repeat the dolloping with the remaining Nutella and again swirl.
Now press 9 or of the Ferrero Rocher into the top of the brownie batter - these should be placed equally spread 3x3 in pan, roughly in the centre of each of the 9 expected slices.
Chop the remaining 5 Ferrero Rochers up roughly and sprinkle over the top of the brownies.
Bake in the centre of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted about an inch from the corner comes out mostly clean.
Tip: for perfect Ferrero Rocher fudge brownies, you want the toothpick to come out mostly clean - this means the batter is baked and safe to eat, but won't be solid and cakey.
