I whip up these gorgeous and delicious Ferrero Rocher Brownies anytime I need a real showstopper dessert, with that classic hazelnut chocolate right at the center. This brownie mix hack is so easy to make, with only 5 ingredients needed to whip up a batch of these chocolate-packed delights!
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.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
