These decadent brownies are loaded with chocolate-coated caramel-peanut nougat candy. Half the candy is baked inside, while the rest is pressed on top for a gooey finish. A perfect treat for candy lovers!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 cup butter, melted

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups chocolate-coated caramel-peanut nougat candy (such as Snickers®), chopped, divided

Directions

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Scatter half of the chopped candy bars over the batter. Carefully spread the remaining batter on top to cover the candy completely.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges look brown and the center is set.

Take the brownies out of the oven and immediately top with the remaining chopped candy bars, gently pressing them into the hot surface. Allow to cool fully (about 30 minutes) before cutting and serving.
