Description
These Decadent Candy Bar Brownie Bars are a chewy, chocolatey dream, packed with your favorite candy bar goodness and drizzled with luscious caramel. They’re the perfect way to elevate a classic brownie into something extraordinarily special.
Ingredients
1 box (18.3 oz) fudge brownie mix (plus oil, water, and eggs required by package)
1.5 cups mixed chopped candy bars (Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, Peanut Butter Cups)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying it.
Next, prepare your fudge brownie mix batter according to the package directions.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Scatter half of the chopped candy bars and chocolate chips over this first layer of batter.
Top with the remaining brownie batter and then sprinkle the rest of the chopped candy bars over the top.
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Allow them to cool completely before drizzling with caramel sauce and cutting into bars.
Notes
Pan Preparation is Key: Using parchment paper with an overhang is your best friend for easily removing the baked bars from the pan. A light spray of cooking oil or baking spray on the parchment helps prevent sticking even further.
Cooling is Crucial: Resist the urge to cut into warm brownies. Allowing them to cool completely ensures clean cuts and a perfectly set texture. Warm brownies can be crumbly and difficult to slice.
Candy Bar Uniformity: Chopping your candy bars into roughly uniform, bite-sized pieces will ensure they melt and distribute evenly throughout the brownies, giving you a delightful bite in every piece.
Doneness Test: The toothpick test is reliable. Look for moist crumbs, not wet batter. If it comes out completely clean, your brownies might be overbaked.
