Ingredients

18 ounce box brownie mix
2 large eggs
½ cup salted butter (melted)
¼ cup milk
2 cups Snickers (chopped)
⅓ cup caramel bits (plus more for topping, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray it well with baking spray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth, thick, and well combined.
Step 3: Pour a little more than half of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 4: Sprinkle the chopped Snickers evenly over the layer of batter.
Step 5: Scoop the remaining brownie batter over the Snickers and gently spread to even out the top.
Step 6: Sprinkle the caramel bits on top of the batter.
Step 7: Bake for 40-43 minutes or until the brownies are cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out gooey but without raw batter.
Step 8: Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

For an extra caramel drizzle, melt an additional ½ cup of caramel bits after baking and drizzle over cooled brownies.
Try substituting Snickers with your favorite candy bar chunks such as Milky Way or Reese’s for different flavor combinations.
If you like nuts, add chopped peanuts or walnuts for extra crunch.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, warm individual squares briefly in the microwave for a soft, gooey texture.

How to Serve

A stack of three thick brownies sits on a white plate on a white marbled surface. Each brownie layer is dark brown and dense with visible chunks of white nuts or white chocolate inside. The top brownie is drizzled with a shiny, golden caramel sauce that cascades down the sides, creating a smooth, glossy texture contrast with the rough, crumbly brownie surface. In the background, blurred pieces of candy or additional brownies can be seen, adding depth to the image. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a mix?

Absolutely! You can replace the boxed brownie mix with your favorite homemade recipe, just be sure the batter is thick enough to hold the Snickers and caramel bits.

Will the Snickers bars melt completely during baking?

The Snickers chunks soften and melt slightly but remain chunky, giving a nice texture contrast within the brownies rather than completely melting away.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

18 ounce box brownie mix
2 large eggs
½ cup salted butter, melted
¼ cup milk

Mix-Ins and Toppings

2 cups Snickers bars, chopped
⅓ cup caramel bits (plus additional ½ cup for optional topping)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9×9 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it thoroughly with baking spray.
Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter, and milk. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth, thick, and well combined ensuring there are no dry spots.
Layer Batter: Pour slightly more than half of the batter into the lined baking dish and spread it evenly to form a smooth base layer.
Add Snickers Layer: Evenly sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars over the batter in the pan, distributing them for an even candy coverage.
Top with Remaining Batter and Caramel: Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the Snickers layer, gently smoothing the top to create an even surface. Then sprinkle the caramel bits over the top as a sweet topping.
Bake the Brownies: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 43 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out gooey but without raw batter clinging to it.
Cool Before Serving: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 20 minutes in the pan before slicing to help them set and make cutting easier.
Optional Caramel Topping: For an extra caramel drizzle, melt an additional ½ cup of caramel bits and drizzle over the cooled brownies to enhance the caramel flavor and presentation.

Notes

You can line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
The gooey toothpick test is key; avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist.
Using salted butter adds balanced flavor, but you can substitute with unsalted butter and a pinch of salt if preferred.
Additional caramel bits can be melted for drizzling on top for an extra decadent finish.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate to maintain freshness.
