I’ve always loved unwrapping one of these chocolate for a special treat, so I wanted to find another way to use them. Loaded with chocolate, super fudgy, and with a decadent Ferrero Rocher in the center, these hazelnut brownies bring utter joy with every bite. It’s one of my favorite ways to take boxed brownie mix up a notch!
Ingredients for Ferrero Rocher Brownies
- Brownie Mix: I recommend using Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix for this recipe, but you can use any boxed brownie mix.
- Ferrero Rocher Chocolates: These gold-covered, hazelnut-encrusted chocolates make the most decadent brownie filling.
- Eggs: Binds the ingredients together.
- Vegetable Oil: Adds moisture to the brownies.
Trademark Note: In the spirit of transparency, I want to note that some of these ingredients are trademarked products. Ferrero and Duncan Hines are proprietary brands that I want to acknowledge and give credit to.
Tips for Success
- For even more indulgent brownies, add ¾ cup of Nutella to the brownie batter.
- To make these brownies cakier, add an additional egg to your brownie batter.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover Ferrero Rocher brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze brownies whole or individually wrapped in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow the brownies to thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
