Chocolate – use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you’re in a pinch and can’t find chocolate chips, you can also use a bar of chocolate.

Sugar – use granulated white sugar (dark brown sugar tastes too strong)

Egg – you one large egg (see below for egg substitutions)

Flour – all-purpose flour will work for this recipe.

Hazelnuts – you can also use pecan nuts almonds.

How To Make Ferrero Rocher Brownies

This brownie recipe is quick and easy. First, melt the chocolate chips and butter and whisk until smooth. Add the egg, sugar, and vanilla and mix again. Sift the dry ingredients into this mixture and whisk until just combined. Don’t overmix the batter, otherwise the brownie will be too dense!

Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and add the Ferrero Roches. Don’t forget to line the baking tin with parchment paper otherwise, the brownie will stick! Bake until cooked through. Once done, serve the Ferrero Rocher Brownies with your favorite ice cream, or with a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips

If you want to leave out the egg, you can substitute it with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoon water) or ½ a medium Banana, mashed or ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) apple sauce or ¼ cups yogurt/buttermilk.

Want to add more hazelnut flavor? Add a few tablespoons of Nutella (or another hazelnut spread) to the batter before baking.

For a lazy, shortcut version, use a brownie cake mix and add the Ferrero Roche chocolates before baking.

Want more texture? Add chocolate chips, pecans, or walnuts to the batter.
