Preparation

Step 1

Coat a 9 inch glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Melt butter and brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat and let cool 10 minutes. Stir in 1 egg and the vanilla until blended, then stir in flour and baking powder until smooth. Scrape (don't spread) 3/4 cup into prepared pie plate; freeze 10 minutes or until firm. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 and melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Stir melted chips, remaining egg and the cocoa powder into remaining batter. Press chilled batter evenly over bottom and halfway up sides of pie plate. Top with Snickers, then chocolate batter. Bake 24-27 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in middle, let stand 5 minutes until soft, then spread to blondie crust in decorative swirls. Top with garnishes. Cool before cutting in wedges.
