Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup brown sugar packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup snickers bars chopped
¼ cup peanuts
⅓ cup caramel sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and packed brown sugar together until the mixture is light and well-combined.
Gradually stir the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate batter until just combined. Avoid over mixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
Gently fold in the chopped Snicker and peanuts.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan then drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and serve.

Notes

Be gentle when folding in the dry ingredients and mix-ins to keep your brownies fudgy rather than cake-like.
Allow the melted butter and chocolate to cool slightly before adding to the eggs. If too hot, they might scramble the eggs.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chopped Snickers or peanuts based on your taste. You can also try using different types of chocolate chips (like dark or milk chocolate) for variety.
Brownies are best when slightly underbaked for a fudgy center. Start checking a few minutes before the recommended time if you like them extra moist.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
