1 Video | Photo: Candy Bar Chocolate Brownies Recipe
Rich, decadent, moist and chewy with chunks of candy bars melted in, you couldn't ask a brownie for more. One of the best parts about them is that you can do them in one bowl, so cleanup's a breeze. The one thing you have to remember is to put the candy bars in the fridge before you got to chop them up or you'll get mush instead of chunks.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted, plus a little more for greasing the pan
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 10 mini chocolate-peanut candy bars, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups), refrigerator cold (recommended - Snickers fun size)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9 by 13-inch cake pan (aluminum is fine) with butter. Beat the 1 1/2 sticks butter and the sugar together in a large bowl until blended. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, then stir in water and vanilla. Sprinkle the salt and baking powder over the mixture, then mix in. Do the same with the cocoa. Finally, stir in the flour until just blended.
Put the candy bars in a food processor or blender and pulse on low speed until all the bars have been reduced to a coarse crumble. Fold the crumble into the batter thoroughly. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the center is set, the edges look a bit crusty, and the top of the brownies start to crack a little. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

I made these for a meeting last night and every single brownie was eaten! They were very easy to make but I had to cook them about 10 minutes longer than he said. I also used semisweet chocolate chip and M&M's because I didn't have any snicker bars. One of the people at the meeting was a baker for 14 years, he loved them! Very moist and really tasty!

This was very easy and tasty.My My only issue with this is it was difficult to put in a pan and it took longer than 30 minutes as the recipe stated. this is way I only gave it 3 stars rather than four. I didnt have any snickers bars, only milky ways. It worked out ok but I def think itd be tastier with the snickers. I also folded in some as well as added some on top. Maybe thats why it took longer to cook???? Ill make this again with snickers next time

MMMmmmm is all you can really say after taking a bite of these rich decadent brownies!!! My family doesn't really like snickers so I used rollos, m&ms, kit kats, reeses, milky way, and twix. It was delicious but I wouldn't reccomend for people who dont usually enjoy chocolate-chocolate cookies and brownies.
