These Nutella Kinder Bueno Brownies are perfectly fudgey and oh so gooey! I've stuffed them with Kinder Chocolate Bars and Kinder Bueno Bars, then I've swirled some Nutella spread on top. They are absolute chocolate hazelnut heaven! Read on to find out how to make these brownies, plus information on using different tin sizes.

Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. The butter can be cold for this recipe, as you are going to melt it anyway. It will just take slightly longer to melt.
I used unsalted butter for this recipe.
I used light brown soft sugar for the brownies, which I do recommend using as it makes them extra fudgey, but you can also use caster sugar.
If you like, you could also stir some chopped hazelnuts into the brownie batter

Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

How to make Nutella Kinder Bueno Brownies

Melt the butter and dark chocolate together on a low heat, then leave to cool for 10 minutes. Whisk the eggs and brown sugar together using an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix in.

Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking as you pour. Then mix in the flour. Gently stir in the chopped up kinder chocolate bars and kinder bueno bars, then pour the whole mixture into the baking tin.

Add the Nutella on top in blobs, then use a knife to swirl it into the brownie batter. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a cocktail stick poked into the centre comes out with moist crumbs on it, but is not wet. Leave to cool completely before slicing.

Can these brownies be baked in different size tins?

Yes! All you need to do is adjust the baking time. Bake for 20 minutes if using a 9" x 12" traybake tin, 30 minutes if using a 9" square tin, or 40 minutes if using a 8" square tin. Test they are done by poking in the centre with a cocktail stick. It should come out with moist crumb on it, but not be wet. I wouldn't recommend using anything smaller than an 8" square tin.

What type of chocolate is best for brownies?

It’s hard to give an exact answer, because it depends on personal preference, but most dark chocolates will work well. I would always say to use a dark chocolate that you like to eat. One of the main ingredients of this recipe is melted dark chocolate, so it contributes massively to the flavour of the brownies. If you prefer a very dark chocolate that’s less sweet then use a higher cocoa bar, for example 70% cocoa and higher. If you prefer a milder dark chocolate, then a cocoa content around 40-50% will suit you better. One chocolate I would avoid using is cheap cooking or baking chocolate. You can get good quality baking chocolates (for example Lindt make one, and I have made amazing brownies with it) but any cheaper lower quality brands can taste very ‘fake’.

How should the brownies be stored and can they be frozen?

They should be stored in an airtight container, or covered on a plate, in a cool place for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies. Once they are fully cool, wrap them well in cling film or place them in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.

How do you know when the brownies are baked?

The best way to check is with the toothpick test, poke one into the middle of the brownies. It should come out with a few moist crumbs on it, but not be wet. It's better to underbake brownies rather than overbake them, especially for fudgey brownies.

Can the brownies be made gluten or dairy free?

Yes! For gluten free you can replace the plain flour with a gluten free plain flour blend. Nutella and Kinder Chocolate are both gluten free, but you will have to omit the Kinder Buenos as they are not gluten free. You can replace the Kinder Buenos with Schar Meltos - which are basically the same! Please do check the labels of everything you use if you are serving this recipe to anyone with an allergy or intolerance.

Can the brownies be made dairy free?

To make the brownies dairy free, use a dairy free butter alternative. I recommend Flora Plant, or the Stork Baking Block. Or you can replace the butter for 200ml vegetable oil (or another mild tasting oil like sunflower or canola oil). You will also need to make sure the dark chocolate you use in the brownie batter is dairy free. Unfortunately, Nutella spread, Kinder Bueno bars and Kinder chocolate are not dairy free. You will need to replace them with alternatives. There are lots of dairy free chocolate and hazelnut spread available, like Nutiva spread for example. You could then add some dairy free milk or white chocolate, and some chopped hazelnuts too, to get a similar flavour.

Use a regular butter knife to make the swirls, glide it around slowly until you're happy
Make sure to line your tin with greaseproof baking paper so the brownies come out easily
