Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for slightly cakier brownies)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Nuts and Chocolates

  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (use fresh, high-quality for best flavor)
  • 10–12 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, unwrapped and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Roughly chop the pistachios and Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Gather all other ingredients to have everything ready.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Chocolate Base: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter with the cocoa powder, stirring until smooth and fully combined to create a rich chocolate mixture.
  3. Combine Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is well blended and slightly fluffy to add volume and structure.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Mixture and Vanilla: Slowly add the melted butter and cocoa blend into the egg mixture, stirring gently. Then mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients and Nuts: Carefully fold in the flour, salt, and optional baking powder until the batter is smooth but thick. Gently mix in the chopped pistachios, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Fold in Ferrero Rocher Chocolates: Delicately fold in the chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates, spreading them evenly throughout the batter to create pockets of creamy hazelnut and chocolate.
  7. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality pistachios for the best crunch and flavor impact.
  • Stir the batter just until combined to keep brownies fudgy and tender; avoid overmixing.
  • For best texture, use room temperature eggs.
  • Fold in Ferrero Rocher chocolates gently to prevent them from melting too early but ensure even distribution.
  • Let brownies cool fully before cutting to ensure clean slices and proper setting.
