Equipment
- 8x8" Baking Dish
Ingredients
Snickers Brownies
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 30 Snickers minis chopped
Peanut Butter Frosting
- ¼ cup butter softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk or as needed
Instructions
- Combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Add cocoa, flour, baking powder and combine thoroughly.
- Place brownie mixture in a greased 8x8" baking pan and set in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until done. (when poking the center of the brownies a toothpick should come out slightly moist with some crumbs)
- Immediately upon taking brownies out of the oven sprinkle chopped pieces of Snickers evenly in a layer over the top of the brownies and allow brownies to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top brownies with the frosting. Spread it evenly over the top, allowing it to fill in the crevices between the Snickers.
- Cut with a sharp knife and serve.
Frosting
- Using a hand mixer combine butter and peanut butter and begin to gradually add confectioners sugar.
- Slowly incorporate milk to prevent frosting from being overly thick as sugar is being added.
- Mix frosting for up to three minutes to lighten it.
Notes
These homemade brownies would be perfect to serve with vanilla ice cream.
