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!

Hello! I haven't attempted doubling this recipe, so I am not sure of the result. If you happen to give it a try, I'd love to know how they turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by. -Jamie

I just made these yesterday and they were great. I’ll definitely be making these again real soon. The unsweetened chocolate gave it the best chocolate flavor. Thanks for the great recipe.

I just made these today and they are AMAZING. I used regular Snickers as the recipe indicated (my husband got a little overzealous down the Easter candy aisle and I figured if I baked them into something then maybe I wouldn't just sit and eat the whole bag... now I'm faced with a bigger dilemma!), and this recipe is definitely a keeper. I could see using chocolate covered salted caramels in this as well. I wouldn't, however, recommend making these if you are going to be alone with them.
