Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped

Topping

  • 8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful to avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
  4. Add the Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and roughly chopped pistachios, which will thicken the batter and add rich crunchy texture.
  5. Assemble the Brownies: Pour the thick batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly. Press the halved Ferrero Rocher chocolates gently into the batter, spacing them out evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing.

Notes

  • You can substitute Ferrero Rocher chocolates with hazelnut truffles if desired.
  • To make a larger batch, double the recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch pan, adjusting baking time as necessary.
