Nutella Truffle Stuffed Brownies

Nutella Truffle Stuffed Brownies are the ultimate rich, fudgy brownie. Use a boxed brownie mix to make the whole process super simple!

Three Nutella brownies stacked on top of each other.

My boys love their Nutella. Generally it’s with a spoon right out of the jar, but I try my best to find creative ways to limit that! I’ve made Nutella Hot Fudge Sauce, I’ve wrapped it in phyllo dough and baked crispy cigars, I’ve even made whole layer cakes with Nutella. (Click HERE for all my Nutella recipes).

Today, though I’m going back to basics(ish) by baking Nutella right into a brownie. Actually I’ve created a Nutella Truffle mixture and layered that inside a brownie. So you’re basically eating a brownie and a truffle all at once. Yes.

The truffle layer stays pretty intact during the baking process, so you get a true thick layer of Nutella right in the center.

You can absolutely use a scratch brownie recipe in this recipe, if you prefer. I just used a boxed brownie mix, because I had one in my pantry and thought it would simply the whole process. I did, however, add some chocolate chunks to my brownie batter to amp it WAY up.

A pink spoon is used to stir brownie batter in a mixing bowl.

The filling is just Nutella, powdered sugar and a little milk. It will be VERY thick.

To assemble the brownies just spread half of the batter into a prepared pan.

Using your hands portion out some of the nutella filling and flatten it. Layer this on top of the batter. It can (and will) overlap, which is 100% alright alright alright.

Bake the brownies up and they will be tré gorgeous.

Allow them to cool completely before cutting. Or not. Whatever.

Description

Nutella Truffle Stuffed Brownies are the ultimate rich, fudgy brownie. Use a boxed brownie mix to make the whole process super simple!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 (18.4 ounce) Brownie mix, batter prepared according to package directions
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Line a 9×9 baking pan with foil and spray liberally with cooking spray. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the Nutella, powdered sugar and milk together. Mixture will be stiff. You can also do this in a bowl with a spoon.
  4. Prepare the brownie mix according the package directions. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  6. Take spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture and flatten it out with your hands. Place the pieces on top of the brownie batter. Cover all the batter with the filling mixture as evenly as possible. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

    My son love brownie very much and we use to make it for him often. After your recipe , I hope we can give him something new this time and it would come out nice. Thank you for the lovely recipe.






  2. I made these last night and they are unbelievable chocolatey, nutella goodness! My husband is obsessed with peanut butter, so do you think I could swap out the nutella for pb?

  3. Wonderful recipe. Thanks a lot for sharing this. I will certainly try it and post the feedback here.

    Regards

  4. I made these last night and doubled the recipe and made them in a 9×13 pan. They are delicious! It’s like frosted brownies but with frosting in the middle. I didn’t use all of the doubled Nutella truffle mixture so I’ll have to find another recipe to use it in or eat it : )
    I used 2 boxes of Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Premium Brownie mix and it had chocolate chips already. It had great dark chocolate flavor and not too sweet. Next time I would add more of the truffle mixture but this is my new go-to brownie recipe. Thank you!!
