Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pistachios
  • 8–10 whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Chop the dark chocolate and pistachios, then unwrap the Ferrero Rocher chocolates and set them aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar with the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened to ensure a lighter brownie texture.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine. Then sift in the flour and salt, folding just until incorporated—do not overmix.
  5. Add Pistachios and Layer Ferrero Rocher: Fold the chopped pistachios into the batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, evenly place the whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates on top, then cover with the remaining batter to enclose them.
  6. Bake Until Set: Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and fluffier brownies.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
  • Chill the batter for 10 minutes if desired to deepen flavors and improve texture.
  • Start checking doneness around 25 minutes to avoid drying out.
  • Use fresh, intact Ferrero Rocher chocolates for the best melting and nutty surprise.
