Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Snickers Layer:
- 2 cups chopped Snickers candy bars (about 8 regular-sized bars)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder until well combined.
Let the mixture cool slightly.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Be careful not to overmix.
Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle the chopped Snickers evenly over the batter.
Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it evenly to cover the Snickers layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
