Snickers Brownie recipe bakes candy bar pieces between the box mix batter then covers the brownies with caramel bits.

Snickers Caramel Brownies

Our Snickers Brownie squares are quick and easy to make using a simple shortcut to save time in the kitchen. A box of brownie mix creates the best fudgy batter for sandwiching a layer of Snickers candy in the center and then baking until the caramel bits on top turn gooey.

Snickers bar brownies are loaded with a layer of Snickers in the middle with a caramel covering on top – the different chewy, sticky textures provide the perfect contrast to the deliciously dense baked brownie.

This Snickers Brownie bar recipe combines the comfort of fresh-from-the-oven brownies with the classic flavors of a favorite nougat, caramel, and peanuts from Snickers candy bars – they’re a super thick, decadent dessert with chunks of candy and gooey caramel in every bite.

Snickers Brownies Ingredients

Brownie mix
Eggs
Salted butter: You can substitute unsalted butter plus a pinch or two of salt instead.
Milk
Snickers: You can use any sized snickers bars, as long as they are chopped well.
Caramel bits: These can be omitted or you can substitute ¼ cup of caramel sauce or drizzle, though it will not give the exact same result.

Substitutions and Additions

Bake Without Butter: Instead of using butter to bake your brownies, you can use vegetable oil or canola oil, although oil may cause the brownies to have a slightly more greasy finish. Or for a lower-fat option, you could use applesauce or yogurt instead of butter.
Make Without Milk: You can substitute half and half or even water in a pinch, though the flavor will not be as rich.
Swap The Snickers: You can swap the Snickers Original Chocolate bars with a variety of other Snickers flavors, such as Snickers Peanut Brownie Squares, Snickers Peanut Butter Squared bars, or Snickers Almond candy. You can also try a similar type of candy bar, like Milky Way, Twix, Baby Ruth, Rolo, or KitKat.
Make With A Different Cake Mix: Feel free to turn your brownies into blondies by using a white or yellow cake mix instead of chocolate. You can also make the recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free brownie mix.
