Ingredients

1 box Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme Brownie Mix
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons water
2 eggs
6-8 snack-sized Snickers bars cut into 8ths
10-12 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups cut in 4ths

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease or spray 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper to help them release easier from pan. This is an optional step.
Make brownie mix according to package instructions. Follow the cake-like brownie directions.
Stir in chopped Snickers bars.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Top batter with chopped peanut butter cups.
Bake about 40-45 minutes. You don’t want to overbake them. Toothpick, inserted in center, should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let cool completely in baking dish before lifting out a cutting into squares.

Notes

STORE/FREEZE

Store at room temperature for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Freeze cooled brownies wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag or container. They’ll last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
