Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled (84 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon plus ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder (18-20 grams)
  • 4 to 5 oz Snickers candy bars cut into chunks plus more if needed
  • 3 to 4 oz Hershey’s chocolate bars chopped or unwrapped miniatures

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square metal pan and line with a piece of parchment paper. Grease the parchment. Melted Snickers are sticky.
  • Whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter and vanilla.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder; stir into sugar mixture. Fold in chopped Snickers
  • Spoon mixture into pan and bake at 350° for about 25-28 minutes (check as early as 22) or until the brownies appear set.
  • Remove pan from oven and immediately sprinkle top with chopped milk chocolate bars or miniature bars. Also, scatter on extra chopped Snickers. Set a sheet pan over the brownie pan to lock in some of the heat and help the chocolate melt.
  • Let cool at room temperature until the pan is cool enough not to warm up the refrigerator, then chill thoroughly. When chilled, lift from the pan and cut into squares.
