Two brownie recipes within one week? Let me explain. Do you ever get in a funk? Ya know when everyone and everything pretty much annoys you for no apparent reason. Well, I have been in this funk for about a week and the only cure I could come up with was… chocolate.
More specifically rich brownies with a milk chocolate toffee candy bar baked into the center. Yeah, Symphony Brownies will cure a mood like no other.
If you frequent My Baking Addiction on a regular basis, you may recall that I’m not especially fond of chocolate, but there is something about these brownies that makes me swoon. I’m pretty certain that something is the ooey gooey center that is imparted by the Symphony candy bars. These Symphony Brownies couldn’t be easier and I’m guessing the only items you’ll have to pick up from the market are the Symphony candy bars.
So, here’s to a good a week! Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
Symphony Brownies
Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate coarsely chopped
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups white sugar

- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2. Microwave chocolate and butter or margarine in large bowl at medium (50% power) for 3-4 minutes or until butter is melted.
- 3. Whisk until chocolate is melted. Stir in sugar and add in eggs, extracts and salt. Gradually add in flour and stir until just combined.

These brownies were amazing! I made them a few weeks back and everyone just about died :) I have a question though…I have a friend who is gluten-free, is there any way to make these into a gluten-free friendly brownie? Would coconut flour work do you think? Thanks for the amazing recipes–huge fan!
yum yum yum!!! These look so good! I know of the funk you speak of. I think having 2 brownie posts this week is A ok!
I love symphony candy bar’s. Can’t wait to try this recipe! I have seen this recipe in one of my Paul Deen’s cookbooks, but have forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder!
Oh my!! I made these last week and they were really good. I’ve never had a Symphony bar, prior to making these–I’ve been missing out! I featured them on my blog–full credit to you. Thanks for the great recipe.

Ahh those look absolutely sinful! So fudgy and delicious :)
Oh girl do I ever know what you mean :) I could use a batch of these to get through the rest of my crazy week. Scrumptious!!
I have made these with a brownie mix to rave reviews but I have never tasted them myself! I made them for a gift! So now I should make them for myself with your from scratch recipe. :)
i’ve never had symphony bars but these look great!
my brother LOVES Symphony bars and his birthday is tomorrow!!! i’m going to make him a cake but if i have time, i’ll make these brownies too!
Chocolate can definitely cure all sorts of things, including, but not limited to funks :) I want to put myself in a funk just so I have an excuse to try these brownies!
