So, this recipe was a definite first for me... the first time I ever made brownies in a saucepan! Stuff was flying everywhere! I made these delicious goodies for my Sunday school class on Sunday evening. We had our Thanksgiving Lifegroup, (aka small group) and there was a TON of yummy food! Ok, on to the recipe... pretty much copied from Two Peas and Their Pod blog.
Inside stuff:
1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped Snickers candy bars
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
How to:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Place butter in medium saucepan on the stove. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with spoon after each addition. Add cocoa; stir until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; stir until combined. Stir in Snickers candy bar chunks. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Drop dollops of peanut butter over the batter. Using a knife, swirl peanut butter into brownies. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool brownies completely in pan on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into squares and serve.
*To reduce chance of a mess, I would use a larger saucepan... like the biggest you've got!! Remember... stuff.flying.everywhere!
Enjoy and eat well!!
