This is chocolate and sugar overload! (Adapted from Betty Crocker recipe) The crispy chocolate peanut butter top on this tastes like peanut butter cups and crunchy rice chocolate bars and paired with the creamy vanilla frosting center and brownie bottom it's very rich! So it's great for sharing at gatherings; it will go a long way because any normal person can only handle a small piece.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 3h

Yield 35

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box (18.3 oz) Betty Crocker™ fudge brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
1 package (8 oz) Snickers™ bites candy unwrapped
2 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with nonstick foil, allowing foil to extend 2 inches over edges of pan. In large bowl, mix brownie mix, water, oil and eggs until well blended. Spread in pan.
  • Bake 24 to 26 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean. Do not overbake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Remove brownies from pan by lifting foil. Pull back foil from edges of brownie. Trim 1/8-inch off edges of brownie. Cut brownie into 7 rows by 5 rows, making 35 squares.
  • Line cookie sheet or tray with sides with cooking parchment paper. Place 1 brownie square in palm of your hand, and press with fingers of other hand to flatten. Place 1 Snickers™ bites in center of flatted brownie piece. Wrap brownie around Snickers™ bite gently, pressing into a ball. Place on cookie sheet. Continue with remaining brownie squares and 34 of the Snickers™ bites. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • Finely chop remaining Snickers™ bites. In medium bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Using 2 forks, dip and roll chilled balls, one at a time, in melted chocolate. Return to cookie sheet; immediately top with finely chopped Snickers™ bites. If chocolate has cooled too much, reheat. Refrigerate brownie bites about 20 minutes or until coating is set. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the taste of your brownies. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) for a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These traditional brownie goody bars are a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you like them plain, with nuts, or with frosting, these brownies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
