There is something incredibly comforting about brownies with Nutella and Kinder, the combination of rich chocolate, silky hazelnut spread, and the satisfying snap of Kinder makes every bite feel like a little celebration.
I love making these when I want to treat myself after a long week or when friends drop by unexpectedly, they come together easily and always disappear quickly, which shows how irresistible they really are.
SaveAs someone who adores simple yet showstopping desserts, these brownies are my go-to because they feel decadent yet are straightforward to bake, and the mix of textures is pure bliss.

Instructions
- Preheat and prep pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides, and lightly grease the parchment.
- Mix wet ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly glossy.
- Combine dry ingredients
Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt with a spatula or whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Add Kinder pieces
Fold in the chopped Kinder bars gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spread half the batter
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
- Add Nutella swirl
Spread the Nutella over the batter layer in the pan, then add the remaining batter and gently smooth the top.
- Top and bake
Scatter extra Kinder pieces over the surface, drizzle a little Nutella if desired, and bake for 22 to 28 minutes until the edges are set but the center looks slightly fudgy.
- Cool and cut
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out and cut into neat squares.
Substitutions and variations
- You can use dark chocolate chips instead of Kinder for a different texture.
- If you do not have Nutella, melted chocolate or caramel can be a tasty swirl alternative.
- For a gluten free version, swap the all purpose flour with a gluten free flour blend.
- Vegetable oil can be replaced with melted butter for a richer flavor.
Chloe's tips
- For cleaner swirls, let the Nutella sit on top of the batter without spreading too much before adding the second layer of batter.
- Chop the Kinder into small, even pieces so they distribute nicely and provide consistent crunch in every bite.
- Do not overbake, brownies are best when slightly fudgy in the center and just set at the edges.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
How to store it

- Refrigerate for up to 1 week, and bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
