Snickers Brownies

While browsing for new recipes to try online, I stumbled upon a recipe for Snickers Brownies. I was in the mood for chocolate (as always), so I decided to give them a try. I had never made brownies from scratch before, so I was a little nervous as to how hard they were going to be. But to my surprise, they were extremely easy to bake and did not require too many ingredients.

Since all of my roommates have a sweet tooth like me, I decided it would be a good idea to double the batch. And what a good idea it was because they loved them!

After they finished baking, we let them cool for a few minutes, until we couldn’t wait any longer. Now, let me say that homemade brownies are much better than from a box. With the Snickers bars added, they were even richer with chocolate and added caramel swirls and crunchy nuts (yum!).

When at the store shopping for ingredients, I also picked up some French Vanilla ice cream to put on top of the brownies (another great idea).

I think the best thing about this recipe is that even if you don’t like Snickers; you can still substitute it with any candy bar. I could definitely recommend these to any chocolate lover! They were very simple and easy to make. One tip the recipe gave was to make sure to not over bake them. I strongly agree with this because the more gooey the better!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients


4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped


3/4 cup butter


1 ½ cups white sugar


3 eggs; lightly beaten


1 teaspoon vanilla extract
