A few weeks ago I made a no bake Kinder Bueno cheesecake which went down an absolute treat with you all! I sincerely hope you tried it yourself, it really is SO yummy!!

With the roaring success of that cheesecake, there was only one way to go really wasn’t there? Kinder Bueno brownies of course!

Kinder Bueno Brownie Ingredients

Want to make them for yourself? Here’s everything you need to know about the ingredients you need…

  • Kinder Bueno Bars – There really is no substitute for these. It has to be the real deal!
  • Kinder Bars – You know, the little ones that children eat? Yep, those! These are optional but add something special.
  • Butter – Always use unsalted in baking unless specified otherwise in the recipe. It gives you control over the salt content.
  • Chocolate – This has to be dark chocolate. Even if you don’t like dark chocolate, still use it. I promise, it will be far too sweet if you use milk.
  • Eggs – Free range organic are my favourite but whatever you have in will work just fine.
  • Sugar – I love golden caster sugar as it adds a slight caramel flavour. Regular caster sugar (or superfine in the US) will work well too.
  • Vanilla – Although not essential, a good quality vanilla will round out the flavour nicely.
  • Salt – You season your dinner, why not your bakes? This helps bring out the best in the flavours. Table salt is just fine.
  • Flour – Always plain flour (all purpose) here, don’t use self raising or other varieties as it will effect the texture.
  • Cocoa Powder – Make sure it’s pure cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate, which are already sweetened.

Kinder Bueno Brownie Tips and Troubleshooting

Yes it’s an easy recipe but we are all only human and we all make mistakes! Well I do at least haha. Here’s a few tips to help!

  • Bring your eggs to room temperature before using. Ingredients blend better when all at the same temperature.
  • Use the best quality dark chocolate you can afford. It’s a big flavour in these brownies!
  • Make sure you use pure cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate. (Drinking chocolate has added sugar.)
  • Use unsalted butter and add salt separately. It gives you complete control of the overall flavour.
  • Remember that all ovens vary! Check your brownies in the last 5-6 mins or so, just in case.
  • Allow your brownies to cool completely before removing from the tin/slicing or you will end up in a big gooey mess!

  • My eggs scrambled when I added them – you overheated the chocolate and/or added them to the chocolate before allowing it to cool and/or your eggs were not at room temperature.
  • My brownie fell apart when I took it out the tin – you didn’t allow it to cool completely before attempting to remove it.
  • The brownies were too sweet – you didn’t use dark chocolate. Milk chocolate will make them too sweet. OR you used drinking chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
  • My brownies were too soft/gooey – You didn’t bake them for long enough.
  • The brownies were too firm and not very gooey – You over baked them. Try reducing the cooking time by a few minutes.

Here is what you will need to make 16.

(For a printer friendly version, see the recipe card at the end of this post)

Ingredients

  • 90g (3.2 oz) or 4 x Individual Kinder Bueno Bars
  • 75g (2.6 oz) Kinder Chocolate Bars
  • 110g (1/2 Cup) Unsalted Butter
  • 110g (3.9 oz) Dark Chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 2 Eggs, room temperature
  • 225g (1 + 1/8 Cup) Golden Caster Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 60g (1/2 Cup) Plain Flour
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder

Essential equipment

  • 20cm (8″) Square Baking Tin
  • Large Microwavable Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Sieve

Instructions

Grease and line your tin with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 170°C/356°F.

Break the Kinder Bueno bars (90g | 3.2 oz or 4 x Individual) into pieces and chop each piece in half. Also break the Kinder Chocolate Bars (75g | 2.6 oz) into pieces. Set them to one side until we need them.

Add the butter (110g | 1/2 Cup) and dark chocolate (110g | 3.9 oz) into a large microwavable bowl and heat in 10 second intervals until melted. Make sure you stir well between each time and don’t over heat it.

One at a time, beat in the eggs (x 2) until they’re thoroughly blended in.

Then weigh in the sugar (225g | 1 + 1/8 Cup) and beat well until it’s completely dissolved and it doesn’t feel grainy on the bottom of the bowl anymore.

Time for some flavour! Stir through the vanilla (1 tsp) and salt (1/4 tsp).

Lastly, sift in the flour (60g | 1/2 Cup) and cocoa powder (2 tbsp). Gently fold it through until you can’t see anymore streaks of flour.

Now we have our brownie batter, let’s add the best bit! Add 80% of the chopped Kinder Bueno (save a few to push into the top) and all of the chopped Kinder Bars.

Give it a gentle mix to evenly distribute everything.

Then pour it into your prepared baking tray. (Yes, I’m a lazy liner and I use pegs!)

Push the remaining chopped Kinder Bueno Bars randomly into the top, then bake for 20 – 25 minutes until crispy on top but still gooey in the middle.

This is the really hard part… let it cool completely before you even think about removing it from the tin! If you’re impatient here, things are going to get very messy indeed. Once completely cooled, remove and slice into 16 bars.

Store in an airtight container (I prefer metal) at room temperature and consume within 5 days.

Hi, does milk chocolate work just as well as dark chocolate. Or is dark chocolate necessary?

Emma

Tuesday 21st of March 2023

Hi Rose. Personally I wouldn’t substitute the dark chocolate for milk chocolate. It would make your brownies far too sweet. Don’t worry if you don’t like dark chocolate though, the sugar and butter in the recipe really balances it out. Emma x

Are the baked brownies ok to freeze?

Emma

Friday 22nd of April 2022

Hi Mags. Yep! Brownies freeze very well actually :) Just make sure you wrap them well. (I like to double wrap to make sure they don't get freezer burn.) Emma x

Will this recipe work in a 9inch square tin ?

Emma

Tuesday 9th of February 2021

Hi Yasmin. I wouldn't recommend it. It would make the brownies very thin and you'd need to bake them for less time so as not to overcook them. Emma x
