    Easy Loaded Brownies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    What's better than dense, chocolaty brownies? Dense, chocolaty Loaded Brownies, that's what! This deliciousness starts with a box mix to which you add your favorite candy bar, Snickers is my go-to, then top with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They bake up fudgy and rich with the flavor of your favorite candy bar nestled in the dense brownie and a layer of peanut butter and chocolate on top. The perfect dessert for any chocolate lover!

    If you're like me, you have leftover Halloween candy sitting around. I have to admit that I bought too much for the number of trick-or-treaters we had so I had to do something so I wouldn't nibble on it for the next month. Am I the only one?

    Your favorite chocolate candy bar in every bite!

    I could have made my Candy Bar Cookies or my Milky Way Pound Cake (which, btw, can be made with other chocolate candy bars) but I wanted something a little different. Enter these indulgent and easy Loaded Brownies, aka Candy Bar Brownies. OMG these are soooo good!

    These Loaded brownies start with a box mix. Yep, believe me, you can use our from scratch brownie recipe from our Brownie Poke Cake, but they come out just as delicious and are quicker to put together with a boxed mix.

    The flavor of the candy bar takes over while the brownie makes the dense fudgy texture to hold it all together. Topped with the peanut butter cups gives just enough of the peanut butter-chocolate combo flavor we all love.
