Snickers Chocolate Brownies

By srumbel

What do you get when you add a boatload of Snickers bars to thick chocolate brownie batter? A ridiculously good chocolate brownie that is nutty, fudgy and chewy with chunky pieces of Snickers in every bite! You know I love my brownies and these ones really are something special. With whole Snickers bars stuffed inside, it means there is peanuts, caramel and nougat studded throughout each brownie. And that sticky chew is what dreams are made of. I don't think I will ever look at a brownie the same.

Ingredients

• 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, chopped
• 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) good quality dark chocolate, pieces
• 100 grams (1/2 cup) caster sugar
• 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 85 grams (2/3 cup) plain flour
• 200 grams (1 and 1/2 cup) Snickers bars

Preparation

Step 1

Grease and line a square tin (22 cm / 9 inch) with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides of the paper overhang. Pop the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place over a medium saucepan that is filled with a bit of water, say 5cm (2 inches) high or so. You need to ensure the bottom of the bowl will not touch the water below. Place on the stove on medium heat and stir while the chocolate and butter melt. Once the mixture is lovely and smooth, remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 160 C (320 F). Next, add the sugar and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and beat with an electric beater until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat again. Then sift in the flour and beat until the brownie mixture is smooth. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared tin. Place the snickers bars on top, add the rest of the better and very gently smooth over the top.

Bake the brownie for about 40-45 minutes or until cooked through. It should have a nice cracked top and no longer wobble in the middle. Leave to cool completely.
