These Snickers brownies are the ultimate fudgy brownie! These brownies are full of cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and chopped Snickers. Homemade salted caramel is swirled on top before it bakes. Then, it is topped with even more salted caramel.

These fudgy Snickers brownies are SO good. This is a simple brownie recipe that has actual Snickers inside. They are also incredibly rich and are loaded with salted caramel. There is caramel swirled in the batter before baking, and then poked with more caramel once they are baked.

Tips for making brownies

Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe! Here are more tips to make homemade salted caramel.

  • Tip 1: Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup into the flour, it can compact it. This causes the brownies to be more cakey. For high altitude baking, add 1 Tablespoon of flour.
  • Tip 2: These brownies uses regular sugar and powdered sugar when mixing with the eggs. I found that using powdered sugar when whipping the eggs on high speed for 3 minutes, really helps to give that crackle top.
  • Tip 3: I added about 4 dollops using a spoon of caramel on the batter before baking.

Ingredients
 
 

Salted Caramel

  • 1 cup White granulated sugar
  • 4 TBSP Unsalted butter, room temperature and cubed
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Snickers Brownies

  • 1 1/2 cups White granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Oil, canola or vegetable
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder, Use dutch-process
  • 1 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, Or dark chocolate
  • 1 cup Chopped Snickers

Instructions
 

Salted Caramel

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the sugar. Let the sugar sit until it starts to melt, then use a whisk to whisk sugar. It will clump up at first. Keep mixing until every sugar crystal is melted.
    1 cup White granulated sugar
  • Let it sit on the stove until the caramel turns amber in color. This happens very fast! Takes 10-15 seconds. Take off the heat.
  • Add in half of the butter and whisk until all melted. Repeat with the rest of the butter. Add in half of the heavy cream and whisk again. Repeat with the rest of the heavy cream. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour into a glass container and allow it to cool completely.
    4 TBSP Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup Heavy cream, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Snickers Brownies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9X9- inch pan with baking nonstick spray. Line the bottom and 2 sides of the pan with parchment paper and spray again.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour and cocoa powder. Mix in the cornstarch and salt and set aside.
    1 cup All-purpose flour, 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 TBSP Cornstarch, 1 tsp Salt
  • Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar, powdered sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed for 5 minutes. It will become pale in color. Stir in the vanilla, oil, and melted butter and mix on low until just combined.
    1 1/2 cups White granulated sugar, 3 Large eggs, 1 Egg yolk, 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup Oil, 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Take off the mixer. Pour in the chocolate chips and chopped snickers. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the mix ins.
    1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup Chopped Snickers
  • Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Use a teaspoon to dollop salted caramel on top of the brownie batter. I used 12 teaspoons. Use a butter knife to very lightly swirl it on top.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes. Bake until the edges are set and the middle is under baked. If you stick in a toothpick it should come out with fudgy brownie on it. If it is pure brownie batter, bake for another 5 minutes and check again.
  • Top the brownies immediately with extra chopped Snickers. Let the brownies cool on a cooling rack. Take the bottom of a wooden spoon and poke holes into the brownies. The caramel will melt and cause holes on top of the brownies. Pour extra caramel on top of the brownies. It will sink in the holes!

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the brownies and cause them to be cakey.
High altitude baking- Add an extra 1 TBSP of flour.
Pull out dairy ingredients 2 hours before baking.
