Candy Bar Brownies
Brownies have long been a rich and decadent dessert, and they are always a big hit at parties and other gatherings. If you crave the delicious taste of a candy bar with the gooey goodness of a brownie, then this recipe is for you.
Ingredient List
- 12 tablespoons, or 1-1/2 sticks of butter
- 1-1/2 cups of sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 3/4 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
- 10 bite size chocolate and peanut candy bars, such as Snickers
Preparation Steps
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9” x 13” cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Melt the 1-1/2 sticks of butter, then beat the butter together with the sugar in a large bowl until they are well blended.
Beat in the two eggs one at a time, then stir in the water and the vanilla extract. Sprinkle the baking powder and salt over this mixture, then mix it in with the butter and the sugar. Add the cocoa and blend it in as well, then stir in the flour until it is blended.
Place the bite size candy bars into a blender or food processor and pulse them at low speed until all of the candy bars have been blended into a coarse crumble mixture. Then fold those crumbled candy bars into the batter, making sure to distribute the candy bars through the mixture thoroughly.
Scrape the batter into the greased baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes. When the mixture is ready the center will have set, the edges will appear a little bit crusty and the top of the brownies will have begun to crack just a little bit. After the brownies are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool before cutting them into squares.
These great brownies make a wonderful treat for office parties, bridal showers, family gatherings and just about any other special occasions. These great brownies are also the perfect treat for enjoying at home or sharing with family members and friends. Best of all, clean up is a snap. Simply take the mixing bowl, rinse it well, pop it in the dishwasher and you are done. You will be enjoying these great brownies long after the cleanup has been completed.
