Ingredients

For the Brownies:

• 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa

• 1 ½ teaspoons instant espresso

• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons boiling water

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 2 large eggs

• 2 large egg yolks

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 ½ cups sugar

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• 16 fun-size Snickers, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Pan – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix Chocolate Base – Whisk cocoa, espresso, and boiling water until smooth. Add unsweetened chocolate and whisk until melted. Stir in butter and oil.

3. Add Wet Ingredients – Whisk in eggs, yolks, vanilla, then sugar until fully incorporated.

4. Add Dry Ingredients – Gently fold in flour and salt with a spatula until just combined.

5. Layer & Assemble – Spread half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle ¾ of the chopped Snickers over it, then spread the remaining batter. Top with the rest of the Snickers.

6. Bake – Bake 30–35 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly fudgy.

7. Cool & Slice – Let cool completely before lifting out with parchment. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

• Extra Gooey: Slightly underbake for a fudgier texture.

• Nutty Twist: Add chopped walnuts or peanuts to the batter.
