Source: Kak Rima


For Brownie:
113g unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped - Kak Rima used 55% valrhona (I used normal choc)
96g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
250g sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
120g all-purpose flour
12 Ferrero Rocher candies, sliced in half


For the Nutella Buttercream:
60g unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup Nutella
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
150g confectioners' sugar (icing)
2 tablespoons heavy cream



DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 165deg C. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Microwave chocolate and butter in a large bowl microwave-safe bowl at medium (50% power) for 3-4 minutes or until butter is melted - i melted butter and pour it over my valrhona

3. Stir until chocolate is melted. Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Gradually add in flour; stir until just combined.

4. Spread 1/2 the batter into prepared pan. Add an even layer of Ferrero Rocher candies and cover with remaining 1/2 of brownie batter. Bake for 30 minutes; do not over bake.

5. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely.

6. Prepare the Nutella Frosting. In a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and Nutella until fully combined. Add in the vanilla extract, confectioners' sugar and heavy cream and mix on low speed until all sugar is incomporated. Turn mixer to medium-high speed and beat the frosting for about to minutes. The frosting will be thich, smooth and creamy. Frost cooled brownies and slice before serving.
