Hello!
With Halloween just a few days away, I caved to the candy bar cravings and swiped up a bag of Snickers! They’re officially my favorite this season, and I knew right away I wanted to bake them into some brownies for you. Ok… for us! I also added flaky sea salt and caramel, because… why not?! The more awesome the merrier, eh?
You can’t see it, but there’s a whole layer of snickers hiding under there. Total decadence!
These brownies are very rich and fudge-y! The snickers melt into the base of the brownies, making a sort of crust that’s chewy and amazing. I love the little bites of nougat and peanuts that are hiding in every piece. I also love that while the caramel, salt, and snickers are all very present, they don’t take over the brownie. You still get bites of pure, wonderful brownie!
If you’re a brownie lover who also adores chocolate, caramel, and sea salt, these are going to blow your mind! Happy Monday 🙂
Salted Caramel Snickers Fudge Brownies – Baker by NatureÂ
Ingredients:
(1) 11 oz bag fun sized Snickers
(1) 14 oz bag Kraft caramels
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 cups granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions:Â
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease the sides and bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together.
Place the chocolate, butter and instant espresso powder in a large bowl, and set it over a saucepan of simmering water – stirring occasionally – until the chocolate and butter are completely melted. Remove from the heat and add the sugars; whisk until completely combined. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes, then add eggs, one at a time, to the chocolate mixture, whisking just until combined. Add the vanilla and stir until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture, using a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixture together. Stir until just combined.
Line the bottom of the prepared baking pan with the snickers bars, then pour half the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Add 1/2 of the caramels and sea salt, then the remaining batter, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining caramels and salt on the top of the brownie batter. Place pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few crumbs sticking to it. Cool completely in the pan, then lift them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve, or store in an air tight container until serving.
I can’t even handle this.
So darn good looking!!!
This is the most beautiful stack of brownie I’ve ever seen! I’ve never tried adding candy to brownies and I can only imagine how delicious it is…snickers and caramel? Instant yum-maker!!

Oh wow, these brownies are almost too much. And by too much I obviously mean perfectly and mouthwateringly indulgent!
Oh my god, that caramel! It’s almost inappropriate in the way it caresses that brownie 😉 These look fabulous!

OMG! That caramel drizzle over the brownies. I need them!
DYING DYING DYING!!!! I want them all. And gorgeous pics to girl. I want to dive into every single photo!
And I just drooled on myself.
They look so fudgy and rich – Snickers, caramel, and choc. My fave food groups! Pinned!
Girl, your brownies are over-the-moon fabulous! I love that you didn’t stop at Snickers and went with oodles more caramel…both inside and out! Pure deliciousness. Your photography is evolving, too, and I love it! xo
Oh geez. These look beyond amazing! Is there anything better than drippy caramel? 🙂
I wonder if one could crumble some digestive cookies onto the batter and then sprinkle on some salted peanuts, and then add some caramel, then more batter, instead of putting whole bars of Snickers in. This looks delicious.
What even?!?! Can’t stop staring at the photos, those look unreal. And that’s coming from a girl who’s not a big chocolate fan!
I’m trying them with Milky Way candy bars! My guilty pleasure added to a divine brownie with caramel…hat more does life have to offer?
wow! this recipe is just incredible! it’s all I want to eat in the world now, and your photos are beautiful!
These brownies have to be some of the most gorgeous I have EVER seen!!
