Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 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

For the Toppings

  • 2 cups chopped Snickers bars
  • 1 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
  • ½ cup chopped peanuts
  • Chocolate chips for topping (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Wet Ingredients: Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Then add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the melted butter and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Snickers Pieces: Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars, distributing them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up too much.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool and Add Toppings: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Optionally, add chocolate chips on top for extra richness.
  9. Slice and Serve: Slice the brownies into 12 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy alongside vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a cup of coffee or milk for a complete dessert experience.

Notes

  • For additional richness, swirl peanut butter into the batter before baking.
  • A pinch of sea salt on top can balance the sweetness and enhance flavors.
  • Watch baking time closely to maintain a fudgy texture without overbaking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, freeze tightly wrapped brownies for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature before reheating.
