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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Snickers Layer: Evenly sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars over the batter in the pan, distributing them for an even candy coverage.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
