Ingredients

1/3 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
2 large eggs room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Nutella or hazelnut spread
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 oz milk chocolate chopped
1/2 cup hazelnuts chopped
9 Ferrero Rochers unwrapped
flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 8x8 square inch pan with parchment, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream the butter and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the Nutella and salt. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute until very smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the flour and mix until just combined. Fold the chocolate chips and hazelnuts into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Using an offset spatula spread the batter into an even layer.
Place the unwrapped Ferrero Rochers on top of the batter, pressing the candy into the batter about halfway. Sprinkle some flaky sea salt overtop (optional).
Bake for 30 -35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack until room temperature. When cool lift the parchment paper out of the pan and cut into squares.
Store in an airtight container for 3 days.

Notes

When poking the brownies with a toothpick, be sure to poke into an area without a Ferrero Rocher candy or else you’ll be tricked into thinking the brownies are underdone.

To freeze, let the brownies cool completely. Cut them and wrap individually in plastic wrap then store in an airtight container or Ziplock bag in the freezer for 1-2 months. Remove and let thaw before enjoying.
