I have so many favorite chocolate recipes, but there is just something about brownies. There really aren’t many desserts better than a thick, fudgy brownie served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Am I right? I love traditional brownies, but if you want to change things up a little bit, this version includes a lot more flavor and texture.</p><h2>📫 Save this recipe!

Once the brownie batter is mixed, add semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, roasted peanuts, chopped Snickers bars, chopped Payday bars, and chopped Twix bars. Reserve some of these ingredients to sprinkle on top before baking. These brownies have so much flavor! </p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=30Z7NS_0vklGlxA00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=30Z7NS_0vklGlxA00" width="1200" height="800" ></figure><h2>Ingredients in Candy Bar Brownies</h2><p><b>Butter</b> – For best results, use real butter. You will need ¾ cup butter (1 1/2 sticks) to melt with the sugar. </p><p><b>Sugar</b> – Yes, that’s a lot of sugar, but these are brownies. You can reduce it a little bit if you want them a little less sweet, but I don’t recommend it!</p><p><b>Eggs</b> – You will need 4 large eggs, plus 2 egg yolks to help bind everything together.</p><p><b>Vanilla extract</b> – The higher the quality, the better. </p><p><b>Oil</b> – You can use any type of oil you’d like. Most brownies call for vegetable or canola oil, but I generally prefer to use coconut oil in baked goods. Just make sure the coconut oil is melted before adding to the other ingredients. </p><p><b>Cocoa powder</b> – Unsweetened cocoa powder provides the rich, chocolate flavor to the brownies. </p><p><b>Flour</b> – Use all-purpose flour or a gluten-free substitute if needed. </p><p><b>Baking soda</b> – Just a little bit of baking soda acts as the leavening agent in the brownies. For best results, make sure your baking soda isn’t old or expired. </p><p><b>Cornstarch</b> – A little bit of cornstarch helps to create the chewy, fudgy texture that makes the perfect brownie. </p><p><b>Salt</b> – A little bit of salt will help to intensify all of the other flavors. </p><p><b>Chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, roasted peanuts, chopped Snickers, chopped Payday bars, and chopped Twix candy bars</b> – All of these ingredients will be added to the batter and sprinkled on top as well. These are what put these brownies on an entirely different level. You can add different candy bars if you’d like. You can use up all of those leftover candy bars from Halloween!</p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3J9y1c_0vklGlxA00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3J9y1c_0vklGlxA00" width="1200" height="1800" ></figure><h2>How to make Candy Bar Brownies</h2><p>Preheat oven to 350° and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.</p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=46DyjN_0vklGlxA00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=46DyjN_0vklGlxA00" width="1200" height="800" ></figure><p>Add the butter and sugar to a small saucepan and cook over low to medium heat.
