Ingredients
For the Brownies:
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tbsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Add-ins:
-
1½ cups Snickers bars, chopped (about 3-4 full-size bars)
-
½ cup salted peanuts (optional, for crunch)
-
½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
-
Make the brownie base:
-
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth.
-
Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy.
-
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
-
Fold in chocolate chips if using.
-
-
Layer the brownies:
-
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
Sprinkle half of the chopped Snickers and peanuts over the batter.
-
Drizzle half the caramel sauce over the candy layer.
-
Add the remaining brownie batter on top and smooth it out.
-
Top with the rest of the Snickers, peanuts, and a final drizzle of caramel.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
-
Don’t overbake — we want them chewy and fudgy!
-
-
Cool & Slice:
-
Let cool completely in the pan (you can chill in the fridge to speed it up).
-
Use parchment paper to lift out, then slice into squares.
