Why this recipe works
Easy to make – 9 simple ingredients and no electric mixer needed!
Ferrero Rochers – Hands down one of the best chocolates around!
Fudgy – These are thick and dense brownies. If you’re looking for thin brownies, this is not the recipe for you!
Ingredients Notes
Eggs – This helps provide that crinkle brownie top we all love.
Cocoa powder – Use unsweetened cocoa to help balance the sweetness.
Butter – I always use unsalted. This will be melted. Using butter in brownies helps keep them soft and chewy.
White sugar – Make sure it’s granulated white sugar, and not icing sugar!
Ferrero Rochers - I used the regular ones, but you can use the other flavours as well!
Step by step instructions
Here is how to make and bake these fudgy Ferrero Rocher brownies. You will need an 8×8 square pan lined with parchment paper, a large mixing bowl, a spatula, and a whisk.
Step 1 – Prep. Grease the pan. For easy removal of the brownies, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Grease again and then set aside.
Step 2 – Whisk butter and sugar. Melt the butter and add into a large bowl. Whisk in white sugar until well combined and glossy. The mixture might look grainy but that’s okay.
Step 3 – Add in eggs and vanilla. Whisk in eggs and vanilla.
Step 4 – Add in dry ingredients. Toss in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Using a spatula, fold until no dry streaks appear.
Step 5 – Toss in add-ins. Add in chopped hazelnuts and Ferrero Rochers and mix in.
Step 6 – Transfer and bake. Transfer the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Add more Ferrero Rocher pieces on top if desired!
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out fudgy.
Cool, slice, and enjoy!
Expert Baking Tips
Here are a few expert baking tips from my kitchen to yours
- Use a gram scale for most accurate measurements. Especially for the dry ingredients!
- When you are making the brownies, you need to gently fold the rest of the ingredients after the eggs are beaten. Use a spatula, and not a whisk.
- Line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper. Grease the other two sides. This will allow for the easiest removal from the pan.
FAQ
Do I have to add that much sugar?
Yes. If you know me, you know I try to use as little sugar as possible in my recipes. This one requires 1 cup of white sugar if you want that crinkle top and fudgy texture. The brownies also have a lot of cocoa powder for balance.
Why did my brownies sink?
This means that the brownies were too under done. Even if the edges look set, you have to make sure the middle is too because that takes the longest to bake. Mine took 35 minutes, but it can take longer depending on your oven.
Do I have to add Ferrero Rochers?
No! You can leave them out for a simple fudgy brownie recipe.
