INSTRUCTIONS:
list of 7 items
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350¡ãF (175¡ãC) and grease a 9¡Á9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, and mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
3. Add Candy Bars: Fold in half of the chopped candy bars into the brownie batter, reserving the rest for topping.
4. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
5. Add Toppings: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining chopped candy bars and chocolate chips on top. If using, add
the chopped nuts as well. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt slightly.
6. Cool and Slice: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper (if used). Allow them to cool
completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
7. Serve: Enjoy these gooey, candy-studded brownies as a delicious dessert or snack!
