Happy New Year! I hope you have all had a great start to 2011. It is my civic duty to warn you that if one of your resolutions was to cut back on sugar or lose weight, this Snicker’s Brownies recipe is probably not the post for you.
As a matter of fact, nothing I have in store for you this week, or really ever is considered “light.” After all, this is a baking blog so don’t expect anything less than loads butter, sugar and chocolate here on My Baking Addiction.
I decided to make these Snickers Brownies after picking up a 75% off bag of holiday candy at Target. There was no real plan in mind; I just couldn’t refuse the deal. The shiny holiday wrapped Snickers stared at me for days from inside their sealed bag.
Since I had already made Snickers Cupcakes and Snickers Cheesecake, I thought, why not make Snickers Brownies? I basically nestled pieces of Snickers into my favorite brownie recipe to create an ooey gooey masterpiece. These brownies are fudgy, rich, thick and decadent, oh and those pieces of nougat…those my friends are irresistible.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as did. Have a fantastic day and thanks so much for stopping by to check out this sweet treat!

ooooh. you have destryed all my NY resolutions and i’m thankful for it! PB + chocolate = diet kryptonite!
That looks so delicious! Great idea
You are speaking to my heart with thie recipes- awesome.
oh my word…heaven in a pan!
I just found a bag of fun sized Milky Way bars hidden in my pantry that were leftover from Halloween. I think I may sub the Milky Way bars for the Snickers, even though I love Snickers more. Yum!
What a fabulous photo!!! Your brownies sound amazing too.
ButterYum
Buying sale holiday candy is actually one of my biggest weaknesses;-) These look like a fantastic way to take advantage of that!
Yum! I could use some candy I got in my stocking!
I did that with a Ghirardelli mix and my kids’ leftover bite sized Snickers from Halloween. Yummy, but the caramel hardened a bit too much.
Those look so good! I love brownies. I have made some before with Twix in the middle, which I love. Can’t wait to try the Snickers.
Why do you do this to me? Do you think I’m perfect the way I am? Cus I for one have an issue with my thighs. And you’re doing nothing for those with posts like this, woman.
Be still my little heart.
I can’t say no to anything Snickers. Nothing. Ever.
Result? I’m going to be making these…oh, I dunno…tomorrow.
I can only hear one thing after reading this and salivating like Pavlov’s dog and that is Elvis singing to the tune of “You’re the devil in disguise.” luckily my only saving grace is I’m too lazy to make these right now, but I’m bookmarking this page in case I change my mind.
Yum, yum and more yum!
I’ve been craving chocolate like CRAZY lately! These brownies look SO GOOD right now. I need to bake a batch and eat it ALL BY MYSELF.
Mmmmmmmmmm – Hubby would love these!
These brownies look really, really, really good!
These sound so yummmmmmm! I have stayed away from the marked down candy at this point, but really I just didn’t have a good enough reason to go out and buy copious amounts of snickers. That has now changed
I want one of those brownies right now!
Great combo! I love jazzing up brownies!
I much prefer these to any resolutions. And that’s why I read (and love) this blog.
This recipe looks a-mazing, Jamie! I want to try this asap

Happy Baking!
Wow, these looks GREAT! Who needs resolutions right?
These look delicious! But they’re painful to look at because I gave up all sweets until Feb. 1st due to sugar overdose during the holidays=( I’ll be sure to add them to my must bake list for later though!
I think my New Year’s resolution should be to bake a whole pan of these brownies, eat them, and be happy.
These brownies are wonderful! I love the photographs!
One of my resolutions is to exercise (today is the 4th day of that – so far, so good). As far as sweets are concerned, I’ll continue with my 2010 strategy – bake something, take a bite to check if it’s good and send it to family, friends and coworkers.
Yummy! I received one of those mason jars of layered brownie mix for Christmas… I just added some milky way to the brownies, since they already had pecans. Thanks for the idea. Mine are in the oven right now!
I have ton of snickers left over from halloween, what a great way to use them or maybe reese peanut butter cups. Will let you know if I try this.
This is a great way to use up all that leftover holiday candy, and then maybe I can start that “no sugar” new year’s resolution
Jamie, these are amazing brownies. I’m loving the texture!
Nisrine
Looks amazing – but I’m also in love of that little milk glass of yours. Too cute.
These look so so tasty.
You can never go wrong with Snickers! And chocolate in chocolate?! You’re my kinda gal for sure!
Sounds delicious and easy, which equals dangerous. If I eat every last one of these I’m blaming you!
Ohhh Jamie! These look divine. the is NO WAY I can make these right now. I would eat them all
I would love to try this… I LOVE the flaky top and gooey center of these brownies… that is my favorite way to eat them! Great job!
snickers ANYTHING gets my attention – primarily because it was one of my all-time favorite candy bars many moons ago, and while i don’t eat them anymore, i still like to fantasize about all that ooey-gooeyness of caramel & peanuts!
You are killing my diet. Killing. But i guesss I will try these just for you
Crap. There goes my diet. These look FABULOUS!!!
Not a good post to read when I’m trying to be good! These look amazing!
Made these and took them in for a pot luck and they were GONE! Such a huge hit! Everyone keeps requesting them! I sent them your way for more delicious desserts!
I spotted your recipe and thought : “a must to make”, because I’m fond of brownies and snickers.
So I made them: they were gorgious! I put a post on my blog with a picture.
Thanks for sharing the recipe and greetings from Holland,
Caroline
Love the processing on this one! The brownies look awesome, totally ruining my diet
that I wish I could eat everyday of my life !!!
Made these on Friday to share with my students for Student Appreciation Day. They were a BIG HIT!!! Thank you (again) for another great recipe, Jamie!
hey,
i don get unsweetened chocolate.. is der a substitute for it?
Hi-
You could get away with using bittersweet. If you were to use semisweet or milk chocolate, the brownies would be far too sweet. Thanks for stopping by.
-Jamie
My husband took one bite of these brownies and said they were the best brownies he had ever eaten. This recipe is a winner!
Hi Jamie, I made these brownies today but mine didn’t turn out as pretty as yours. How do you get that lovely cracked top on them? Thanks!
Hiya,
I made these last night and they are YUM! Although I had to have a bit of a lie down after eating one too many and thus feeling a bit ill…
–Jamie
Amazing! Made then with the PB squared Snickers! For a birthday gift! Wasn’t going to eat any myself after reading the nutrition info on the snickers package, but I could not resist! They are SUPER AMAZING!
These look dee.lect.able! I must try them ASAP! Thanks for the great, fattening post!
is it possible to make these eggless ?
Avantika-
I have never tried this recipe with an egg substitute, but let me know if you give it a whirl.
–Jamie
Can these be made with a box brownie mix (and still taste as good)?
Sharon-
You can certainly use a box mix although I prefer homemade brownies I still think they would be quite delicious using a mix.
-Jamie
Hi Jamie I tried the recipe and it turns out to be a bit hard not fudgy and its a bit bitter.. im using hershey’s unsweetened chocolate.. And the crust slightly hard but it is not crackling as i thought it would be
do you think i overmixed the batter when folding the flour?
Ony-
That could have been the issue – I’m sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you. I barely mix in my flour, but baking has so many variables, it’s often hard to detect the exact cause. Sorry I am not more of a help.
-Jamie
Oh…
That’s an official torture
Looking So GOOD
you will dream of this
I must say that your recipe looks totally awesome and I have printed so I can make these brownies during the holidays. I’m on weight watchers but I am going to enjoy every bit of these..lol
Snickers has to be the best candy bar on Earth and then to put them in the middle of a brownie! OMG! Must try these!
