What is a Ferrero Rocher?

If you’re not familiar with a Ferrero Rocher, it’s basically a whole roasted hazelnut surrounded by a chocolate hazelnut filling (I think it’s Nutella), around that filling is a thin wafer shell. All of this deliciousness is then encased in a milk chocolate coating with chopped hazelnuts mixed in. Now imagine all of that yummy perfection stuffed inside of a fudgy brownie and a thick and creamy Nutella fudge!

Ferrero Rocher Stuffed Brownies

To begin, I whipped up a batch of my favourite brownie recipe that originally made their debut in these Oreo Fudge Brownies. This time, instead of stuffing them with Oreos, I stuffed them with Ferrero Rochers!

To do this, I poured half of the brownie batter into the baking pan. I then placed about 12 frozen Ferrero Rochers on top, in an even layer. Make sure your Ferrero Rochers are frozen so they don’t melt while baking.

Now this next part can be a bit tricky. For my Oreo stuffed brownies, I simply pour the remaining batter on top and spread it into an even layer. We can’t do that for this recipe because when you pour the batter on top of the Ferrero Rochers, it doesn’t set into an even layer. The batter sort of sinks around the Ferrero Rochers, leaving them visible.

So to cover the chocolates, I poured the batter directly on top of each truffle to make sure they were all completely covered. When the brownies bake, the batter will rise up and cover the truffles, keeping them nice and snug inside the brownie.

Creamy Nutella Fudge

To take these Ferrero Rocher stuffed brownies to the next level, I topped them with a thick, beautiful Nutella fudge! I got the fudge recipe from this other amazing Nutella fudge brownie recipe, but to take it up a notch, I mixed in some whole roasted hazelnuts. The crunch of the hazelnuts pairs perfectly with the smooth, creamy fudge.

To finish these bars off, I topped them with some more chopped hazelnuts, Ferrero Rochers and a drizzle of my outstanding Nutella Ganache! I originally planned on drizzling these with melted chocolate, but I had plenty of Nutella Ganache leftover from this No-Churn Coffee Oreo Nutella Swirl Ice Cream. Besides, this is a Nutella recipe, so it’s fitting.

Once all of the layers have set, lift them out of the pan and slice them into squares with a hot knife. Chilled brownies + hot knife = clean, beautiful squares!

Although I cut these while cold, I prefer to enjoy them at room temperature, that way the fudge and the brownie melts in your mouth. Ugh God, just thinking about these brownies makes me want to have another one. Unfortunately, I’m writing this long after I made them so there’s none left. There are tears in my eyes as I type this.

These Ferrero Rocher Fudge Brownies are the ultimate dessert bars! A Ferrero Rocher stuffed fudge brownie, topped with a creamy Nutella Fudge filled and topped with Ferrero Rochers and roasted hazelnuts. Take these bars to another level with a drizzle of silky Nutella Ganache and you’ve got the greatest brownie ever!

Ingredients

Brownies:

  • 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 16 Fererro Rochers, frozen

Nutella Fudge:

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 and ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • ¾ cup whole roasted hazelnuts, skinned + ½ cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
  • 6 Ferrero Rochers, sliced in half
  • Nutella Ganache

Instructions

For the Brownies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F for dark non-stick pans) (180°C). Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving about 2-inches hanging over the sides and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  2. Place chopped chocolate and cubed butter in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir constantly until the butter and chocolate are both melted and combined, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Remove bowl from heat and immediately add both sugars, whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Use your fingertip to check the temperature of the batter to make sure it's not too hot--it should be warm. If it is too hot, let it cool for a few minutes before proceeding. This is so the eggs don't curdle when added.
  4. Add eggs, egg yolk and vanilla extract and slowly whisk until combined. Do not overmix. Add flour, cocoa, and salt and stir with a rubber spatula until well blended.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and place frozen Ferrero Rochers in an even layer. Pour the rest of the batter on top of each Ferrero Rocher to cover completely, do not spread. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

For the Nutella Fudge:

  1. Add the condensed milk, chocolate chips and Nutella to a large heat-proof bowl and melt over a saucepan of simmering water stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Fold in ¾ cup of whole roasted hazelnuts and spread over cooled brownies. Sprinkle on the ½ cup of chopped hazelnuts and place the sliced Ferrero Rochers on top. Place in the refrigerator to set, 2 hours.
  3. Make a recipe of my Nutella Ganache, or melt about ½ cup of chocolate chips and drizzle on top, if desired.
  4. Once everything is set, lift the brownies out of the pan and cut into even squares. Enjoy!

Notes

- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve at room temperature.

FAQs

What's the difference between brownies and fudge brownies? ›

Fudge doesn't contain very much besides chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and if you want some inclusions like nuts, marshmallows, cookies, cacao nibs, peanut butter, dried fruit and so on. Whereas brownies contain cacao powder (no chocolate!), flour, eggs, butter or oil, baking powder and nuts.

What can I add to brownies to make them better? ›

Stir in semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and shards off the block for a chocolate brownie that's even more chocolaty. If you have leftover holiday treats, crumble in candy bars, peppermints, chopped candied ginger, or crushed cookies.

What is the difference between chewy and cake brownies? ›

While still moist, you can expect cakey brownies to have a center that's more fluffy and less soft and gooey than fudgy or chewy brownies. Additionally, the butter and sugar are usually creamed together, rather than starting with melted butter or oil.

How do you doctor up Betty Crocker brownie mix? ›

You can add more chocolate by mixing in a cup of your favorite morsels, be it dark, semi-sweet, mint, or peanut butter. Stir in some shredded coconut or chopped dried cranberries, cherries, or other fruits. For a crunch, chop up some nuts in your food processor and mix them in too.

Why are my brownies more cakey than fudgy? ›

Achieving a fudgy brownie is all to do with the ratio of fat to flour. A fudgy brownie recipe will use more fat than flour. Generally this is achieved by adding more butter or real chocolate to your brownie recipe. A cakey brownie recipe on the other hand will call for more flour in the ratio of fat to flour.

What is the old version of brownies? ›

Did you know that Brownies were originally called 'Rosebuds'? Rosebuds was established in 1914 for girls to join before they became Guides. Just one year later, the name was changed to Brownies.

What does adding an extra egg to brownie mix do? ›

If you opt to add more eggs, say double the amount, something interesting happens. Even though you are adding more moisture, the air bubbles that you catch in the extra eggs add volume, which decreases the density of your final product. This makes your brownies rise and gives them a much more cake-like texture.

How to doctor up boxed brownies? ›

Adding a layer of cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, caramel, or peanut butter goes a long way towards turning a mix into something special. You can add this layer before or after baking the brownies.

What does adding milk instead of water do to brownies? ›

Brownie recipes traditionally call for water as it serves as a neutral liquid that hydrates the dry ingredients. However, using milk instead of water can impart a creamier texture and richer flavor to your brownies. The milk's fat content adds a smoothness that water cannot provide, resulting in a more indulgent treat.

What is a brownie fairy? ›

brownie, in English and Scottish folklore, a small, industrious fairy or hobgoblin believed to inhabit houses and barns. Rarely seen, he was often heard at night, cleaning and doing housework; he also sometimes mischievously disarranged rooms.

What is the number one brownie mix? ›

Best Overall Brownie Mix: Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Premium Brownie Mix. When you want a delicious brownie for a baking emergency—or just to treat yourself—look no further than a box of Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownies.

Should I use butter or oil for brownies? ›

Note that while some brownie recipes do call for melted butter instead of oil, the butter can aerate the batter, altering the texture of the brownies and making them cakey rather than fudgy. So, while you can substitute butter for oil and vice versa, remember that it might alter the texture.

Should brownie batter sit before baking? ›

Making Brownie Batter in Advance

Because most brownie recipes call for eggs, the batter shouldn't sit out for longer than two hours before baking. On the other hand, the sauce and dry ingredients can be made a few days in advance and refrigerated for freshness.

Can I use milk instead of water in boxed brownie mix? ›

Instead of adding in the recommended amount of water, substitute it for milk to give the batter a slightly different consistency. Milk is richer than water, so the brownies will be richer, and they'll be denser, like fudge.

Which brownie mix is better Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines? ›

Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker fell in the middle of the pack — neither were bad, but Duncan Hines' brownies were a little too chewy for my taste, and Betty Crocker's were a bit too sweet. But I could see both mixes making many people happy.

Are my brownies fudgy or raw? ›

To test for doneness with a toothpick, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies and pull it back out. For fudgy brownies, you'll want to see some moist crumbs attached to the toothpick when you pull it back out. If it looks like it's covered in brownie batter, the brownies will need to bake a bit longer.

Why are they called S * * * * * brownies? ›

The Londoner describes why they called them "slu*tty brownies" perfectly: "they're oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy." Just as simple as I would've imagined. They are as easy to make as they are messy to eat. If you look up slu*tty Brownies on Pinterest there are thousands of recipes listed.

Are fudge rounds brownies? ›

Fudge Rounds are fudgy, round snack cakes made by the Little Debbie company. A Fudge Round consists of two chewy chocolate cookies with light brown fudge creme in between, and light brown fudge strips on top.

What's the difference between fudge and fudge cake? ›

Fudge is a confection made mostly with chocolate as the main ingredient, although sometimes it is also made with vanilla flavor. Although it is similar to chocolate mud cake, chocolate fudge cake is not that dense.
