Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.75 cup butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate-coated caramel-peanut nougat candy (such as Snickers®), chopped, divided

Equipment

  • 9-inch square baking pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Separate Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Toothpick

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Step 5: Spread about half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the chopped Snickers pieces over the batter.
  6. Step 6: Carefully spread the remaining batter on top, covering the candy bar pieces.
  7. Step 7: Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Step 8: Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the remaining chopped candy bar pieces over the hot brownies and gently press them in.
  9. Step 9: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

You can substitute other caramel and peanut-filled chocolate bars for Snickers®. For an extra chocolatey punch, add chocolate chips. Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel sauce after cooling for an extra special touch.
