Thick, fudgey & gooey chocolate Kinder Bueno brownies with Kinder Bueno and Kinder chocolate chunks!
Kinder Bueno brownies!
Oh my YESSSSS these are the dream. I don’t usually big up my recipes myself that much because I’m always worried how they are going to be received by everyone, but these are IDEAL. Honestly I am just in shock with how much I adore these, and how well they worked. I had the Kinder Fear of when I cut into the brownies, it would all smush and break up, but LOOK HOW WELL THEY WORKED. Never had I been so satisfied!
Sugar swap
I decided that this time I would swap up the recipe ever so slightly in comparison to my other brownies such as my triple chocolate brownies and Terry’s chocolate orange brownies. Not too much, but enough to try something different. For example, I straight up used a completely different sugar! The caster sugar works completely fine, but I thought I would try and make the brownies a slightly fudgier flavour by using the light brown sugar and it was the dreeeeam.
Honestly, I underestimated the difference the sugar would make in the brownies. I use light brown sugar in nearly all my chocolate cupcake recipes, such as my Kinder Bueno cupcakes, but for some reason I just didn’t use it in my brownies. But holy moly its the dream. It whisks up to a thick golden colour when whisked with the eggs, and almost seems thicker than what happens with the caster sugar, and thats exactly what you want. The thicker the egg/sugar mousse the better.
Flour and cocoa powder
I then also used a touch more plain flour, and a bit more cocoa powder to make it even thicker and fudgier and oh myyyyyyyy it was! I baked perfectly within the 25 minutes, and it then cut perfectly. I was literally astounded by how well it cut. In every slice you can see chunks of the Kinder chocolate, and chunks of the Kinder Bueno and it just looks like Kinder heaven in my opinion.
Portion
I do often get comments on how I cut my traybakes, and I actually use a large 26cm chefs knife so its long enough for the entire 9″ width of the tray, and its sharp. I do always believe that a sharp knife is easier and better to use, and its technically safer. Also, it really desperately helps when cutting through solidified chocolate such as the chunks in these brownies!
More Kinder goodness
Honestly I think these are my most favourite brownies I have made so far. As I am writing this I’m munching on another batch because every time I make these they go down so unbelievably well. Every single bite has a chocolate of kinder goodness, and I just love it. You guys have always gone crazy for my Kinder Bueno recipes (such as my no-bake Kinder Bueno cheesecake and Kinder Bueno cupcakes) so I know you will all love these as much as I do! Enjoy! X
Kinder Bueno Brownies!
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 275 g light brown sugar
- 100 g plain flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 250 g Kinder chocolate (broken into pieces)
- 250 g Kinder Bueno (broken into pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a 9″ square baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt together the butter, and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water, on the microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted. Leave to the side to cool to room temperature!
- Using an electric whisk/stand mixer, whisk together the eggs & light brown sugar for a few minutes until the colour has turned pale, is very mousse like, and is double the original volume of the amount of eggs + sugar!
- You will know its done because when you lift the whisk up out of the mix it should leave a trail for a couple of seconds before disappearing!
- When whisked, pour the cooled chocolate mix over eggs and fold together carefully. It might take some time, but be patient – you don’t want to knock out the air you made up on the previous step!
- Once completely combined, sift the cocoa powder and plain flour on top of the chocolate mix and then fold together again – still be careful to not knock out the air!
- Once combined well, fold through the Kinder chocolate pieces, and the Kinder Bueno pieces and pour into the prepared tin – bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes! Once baked, leave to cool in the tin completely, and cut into your squares!
Notes
- These brownies will last for up to one week in a container, but will probably be eaten before this!
- You can easily use another sugar in the mix, such as caster sugar, but I thought I'd try light brown sugar this time and it was delicious!
- If your brownies are taking ages to cook, your mixture was probably too thin in the beginning. Cover with foil and bake for longer.
- If they still don't seem set after cooling, store them in the fridge and then cut so they're firmer.
- I used THIS KINDER CHOCOLATE for the filling, and THESE KINDER BUENO BARS
- I love using this tin!

I’d like to start off by saying that these brownies are probably the most decadent brownies I’ve ever tried! Pure decadence. I made these for my sister-in-law’s 15th birthday since she’s a chocolate fan & a Kinder chocolate lover. Unfortunately, she did not really care for them and she let me know that she doesn’t like dark chocolate. It might have been too rich for her young & unrefined palate. She instead was eating grocery store birthday cake which probably goes to show that she prefers artificial sweets over treat with high quality ingredients : ) Other than her critique, every one else truly enjoyed them! Definitely make these for those that love ALL versions of chocolate! 5-star rating from me!
Hi there. We only seem to have Kinder Bueno here in NZ. Is there another chocolate you would recommend in place of the Kinder chocolate? thanks so much.
I think literally any other chocolate you desire. I made this same recipe with the same gramage of Maltese’s and double stuffed Oreos and they still turned out to be delicious!!
Hi, I was just wondering if you had to freeze the kinder chocolate and Buenos before please.
Thanks x
Hiya! No – just normal will be fine! Hope this helps! x
Can you use milk chocolate? If not can you taste the dark chocolate or are they like any other brownie 🙂
Hiya! You need to use chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best bake! You can’t taste the fact its dark chocolate – I promise! x
Hi Jane, how do you get the kinder choc to show on the top of the brownies please? I would have thought they would melt and disappear if you studded the top of the mixture with the chopped pieces?
Hiya! To avoid this – you can put them on last towards the end of baking! Hope this helps! x
Quick question on the kinder bueno brownies. How do i stop the wafer bit tasting funny after baking?
I’ve made these so many times, they’re absolutely beautiful. Thank you Jane for the recipe. 😊
Hiya Jane!
Absolutely LOVE this recipe. I’m baking it in a 20x20cm tin & I was wonder how long I should cook them for??
Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Can you freeze these? If so how long would they take to defrost? I was thinking of making a batch for a wedding dessert table but don’t want to be baking the day before my wedding. X
Hey,
Can’t wait to get your book!
I was wondering If i don’t want to use as much Kinder stuff when I remove the Kinder Bueno what’s the minimum amount of Kinder chocolate I can use? Or am I better just using like 150g Kinder Chocolate and 150g Milk chocolate chunks?
150g of each sounds good!! And yay!! x
Hi Jane! I loved your slutty brownies recipe and wanted to try these Kinder brownies and they taste amazing! Only thing is, I used half white chocolate and half of the kinder chocolate. When I bit into it, it tasted slightly bitter. A bit like burnt chocolate? Do you know what that could be?
Hi Jane, Iv been using a few of your brownie recipes over the last year, the chocolate orange one was a huge hit at Christmas with family, and my children’s school teachers and nursery staff. I was just wondering do yours freeze well, I’m planning on making some as teacher leavers presents and my kids breakup a week apart so save making extra would they work ok freezing for a few days, then defrost at room temperature. Thank you.
Yes the brownies freeze well!! xx
Whenever you say dark chocolate in your recipes, do you mean plain or what you’d find in the sweet aisle? Thanks!
Hey, yes 70% or higher cocoa powder xx
This is THE BEST brownie recipe I have ever used. Has definitely made its way into my recipe collection.
Hi Jane! Can I make these gluten free? Thanks
Kinder Bueno aren’t gluten free so you wouldn’t realistically be able to, but the base brownie mix can be made with gluten free flour x
Do I replace to a 1:1 ratio? And do I need xanthan gum?
For just the flour, I would just straight swap x
Hi Jane. Any idea on calories for the recipe please x
Hi Jane,
Here you state that light brown sugar is the way to go, does this stand for all your other brownie/blonde recipes too and if so do I sub for the same grams.
Many thanks
Amy

It depends on the flavour or the brownie or blondie but it works well for both!
I made these today and they went down an absolute treat! I’ll defo use this recipe again!
