Snickers Brownie Bars
by Ingrid Beer
Yield: Makes 12 bars
Ingredients:
• 8 ounces milk chocolate chips, divided use
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, room temp
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 6 ounces caramel bits (found next to the chocolate chips in the baking isle)
• ½ cup roughly chopped salted and roasted peanuts
• Caramel sauce, to drizzle over top (Fleur de Sel caramel if you can find it—Trader Joes or Amazon)
Preparation:
-Preheat your oven to 350°, and line a 11 x 7 x 1.5” baking dish with enough foil so that it hangs a little over the sides (easier lifting after baking), and mist with cooking spray.
-Into a small saucepan add 4 ounces of the milk chocolate chips along with the butter, and slowly heat just until melted together; whisk/blend to combine, and pour into the bowl of a standing mixer to cool for 5-10 minutes.
-Meanwhile, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and put those dry ingredients aside for a moment.
-Once the melted chocolate/butter has cooled slightly, add to it both the sugars, the eggs, the vanilla, and the peanut butter, and using a paddle attachment, mix to combine well.
-Add in the dry ingredients, and mix just until combined, and then pour in the remaining 4 ounces of milk chocolate chips and the caramel bits, and mix just until those are incorporated in.
-Pour/spoon about half of the batter (it will be a little thick) into your prepared baking dish, and smooth it out; sprinkle evenly over the batter about half of the chopped peanuts (about ¼ cup), and spoon the rest of the batter over that and smooth out.
-Bake for about 40 minutes, and allow to cool in baking dish for about 20.
-Lift the brownies out of the baking dish and allow to completely cool; then, drizzle over the top about ¼ cup of the caramel sauce, and sprinkle over the remainder of the chopped peanuts, then drizzle more caramel sauce (about ¼ cup) over the peanuts to make the top nice and gooey.
-Cut into bars and serve, a keep uneaten brownies well-covered with plastic wrap.
