How to Make Outrageous Snickers Brownies?
Now for the fun part! Here’s how you’ll make these incredible brownies, step by step:
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven 🏡
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Batter 🍫
Melt the butter in the microwave, then stir in the sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
Mix your flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold this mixture into your wet ingredients to form a thick, fudgy batter.
Step 4: Add the Snickers ✂️
Chop your Snickers bars into small pieces and gently fold half of them into the batter. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan.
Step 5: Spread Peanut Butter Magic 🥜
Melt peanut butter and heavy cream together on low heat. Pour it over the brownie batter and spread it into an even layer.
Step 6: Bake 🌟
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Your brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs!
Step 7: Make the Caramel Drizzle ✨
While the brownies cool slightly, microwave your caramel candies with heavy cream until smooth and pourable.
Step 8: Drizzle and Add More Snickers 🍬
Drizzle the caramel over your brownies, then sprinkle the rest of the chopped Snickers on top. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Go Easy on Mixing: Overmixing the batter can make the brownies tough. Stir just until the ingredients combine.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature to create a smooth batter.
- Test Before Cutting: Make sure your brownies have cooled fully before slicing. This ensures clean edges!
