Introduction

These Outrageous Snickers Brownies combine rich, fudgy brownie goodness with the iconic flavors of Snickers bars, creating a treat that’s a sweet tooth’s dream. Perfect for gatherings or a decadent dessert, their gooey caramel and crunchy peanuts add irresistible texture and flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chopped Snickers bars
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• ½ cup chopped peanuts
• Chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Step 2: Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
4. Step 4: Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.
6. Step 6: Bake for 25–30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Step 7: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
8. Step 8: Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra indulgence.
9. Step 9: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
