These vegan ferrero rocher brownies are the perfect hazelnutty, chocolate brownie. The brownie has a rich, gooey chocolate batter which is then elevated by the vegan Ferrero rochers and roasted hazelnuts.
The chocolate hazelnut combination is one of my absolute favourites. I have always loved the praline flavour and it would be my first pick in a chocolate box! These brownies provide all of those beautiful praline flavours with a chocolate brownie and wonderful Ferrero rochers!
I think Ferrero rochers are very christmassy too. It may just be me but I am sure there are always more Ferrero rochers around in the month of December. They are a perfect little hazelnut chocolate treat which feels like a great thing to eat during the holiday season. I used vegan Ferrero rochers for this which you can now buy from most supermarkets! Of course, you could use the originals if you would prefer- the result will be the same.
If you have tried any of my other brownie recipes, this brownies recipe follows the same process. You combine the wet ingredients together which involves a wonderful, silky melted chocolate. Then you combine your dry ingredients before incorporating the two to form a beautiful brownie batter. Then, you add your hazelnuts and ferrero rochers to create a masterpiece!
These are a super gooey, fudgey brownie with a crunchy top. If you are not into the gooey brownie type, I recommend adding more flour and baking them for longer. Although, trust me... these are delicious as they are! If you want to try some other brownies, give my Biscoff brownies a go or my chocolate ganache brownies.
I hope you love these Ferrero rocher brownies as much as I do! Let me know how you get on in the comments section below or on instagram.
Lots of love!

Ferrero Rocher Brownies
Ingredients
- 120 g Butter
- 120 ml Soy milk or a milk of any choice
- 250 g Sugar caster, white, super-fine
- 1 ½ tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 150 g Chopped chocolate I used a dark semi-sweet chocolate
- 60 g Cocoa powder
- 160 g Flour white, plain, all-purpose
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 8 Ferrero Rochers I used a vegan version
- 30 g Whole roasted hazelnuts
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 356°F. Line the bottom of your baking tray with baking paper and grease the sides with some butter. Note, I used a small 15cm baking tray with a removable bottom for this recipe. If your baking tray is bigger, bear in mind that your brownies will be thinner than mine photographed. To combat this, you could increase the ingredient amounts.
- In a saucepan, melt your butter on a low heat. Once melted, add your milk, sugar and vanilla extract and combine. Then add the chocolate. Take off the heat and continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.
- In a large bowl, sieve the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Combine together with a spoon.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix together.
- Add 25g of hazelnuts to the brownies mixture and combine until fully incorporated.
- Pour your brownie mixture into your lined baking tray. Then, add your ferrero rochers on top, pushing them into the batter. I added six whole ferrero rochers and 2 halved. You can choose however you want your brownies to look here! Then, scatter the remaining hazelnuts on top.
- Bake your brownies for 25 minutes.
- Once the time is up, remove the brownies from the oven. They should have developed a crackly top but will still be lovely and gooey in the middle. Leave the brownies to completely cool.
- Cut them up and devour! I hope you love them.
