Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted Can swap for neutral oil, but butter tastes richer.
  • 1 cup Sugar Regular white sugar keeps the brownie shiny on top.
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Adds more chew.
  • 2 large Eggs Room temperature is best.
  • 3/4 cup Cocoa powder, unsweetened Dark cocoa makes it deeper and more intense.
  • 1 cup Flour, all purpose Gluten free 1 to 1 blends usually work too.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional for added flavor.
Toppings
  • 4 pieces Snickers bars, chopped A mix of big chunks and smaller bits adds to texture.
  • 1/2 cup Caramel sauce or soft caramels If using caramels, melt them with a splash of cream.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and vanilla until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in a handful of chopped Snickers into the batter.
Baking
  1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining Snickers on top evenly.
  3. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter, line the pan with parchment, and let brownies cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for later enjoyment.
