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)
- 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.
