CANDY BAR BROWNIES



Candy Bar Brownies image

Isn't it funny how recipes go around in cycles? I remember folks adding candy bars to brownies back in the 1980's, then Christy Jordan (of Southern Plate) wrote about the same thing, except using Symphony Bars. Were Symphony Bars even around back then? Anyway, I decided to experiment with some of the candy bars out there now. ...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box of brownie mix, 13 x 9 family size
1/2 c cooking oil, as directed on box
1/4 c water, as directed on box
2 eggs, as directed on box
3 large candy bars** (see direction #8 below.)
some walnuts, optional (i used them, but i won't next time)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (or as directed on the brownie mix box). Mist a 13 x 9"** pan with cooking spray.
  • 2. Mix brownie batter using the directions on the box.
  • 3. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  • 4. Unwrap the large candy bars and place on top of the brownie batter.
  • 5. Spread the remaining batter over the candy bars, covering them completely.
  • 6. Bake 25-30 minutes, checking the edges for doneness since the toothpick method won't work in the melted chocolate. Remove from the oven & cool on a cooling rack.
  • 7. Cut & serve when the brownies cool. Watch out for the stampede! =^..^=
  • 8. **Christy Jordan recommended using an 8 x 8" pan, which would make a thicker brownie. The baking time would also need adjusted to around 45 minutes. You'd also only need 2 large candy bars.

CANDY BAR CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Rich, decadent, moist and chewy with chunks of candy bars melted in, you couldn't ask a brownie for more. One of the best parts about them is that you can do them in one bowl, so cleanup's a breeze. The one thing you have to remember is to put the candy bars in the fridge before you got to chop them up or you'll get mush instead of chunks.

Time 40m

Yield about 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted, plus a little more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
10 mini chocolate-peanut candy bars, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups), refrigerator cold (recommended - Snickers fun size)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 by 13-inch cake pan (aluminum is fine) with butter. Beat the 1 1/2 sticks butter and the sugar together in a large bowl until blended. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, then stir in water and vanilla. Sprinkle the salt and baking powder over the mixture, then mix in. Do the same with the cocoa. Finally, stir in the flour until just blended.
  • Put the candy bars in a food processor or blender and pulse on low speed until all the bars have been reduced to a coarse crumble. Fold the crumble into the batter thoroughly. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the center is set, the edges look a bit crusty, and the top of the brownies start to crack a little. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
