Equipment
- 1 Baking Pan 9x13 inch recommended
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk or Spatula
- 1 Chef's knife
- 1 Cutting Board
Ingredients
Main
- 1 19.8 ounce package chocolate brownie mix
- 24 pieces NESTLE® BUTTERFINGER® Bites Candy chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the chocolate brownie mix package.
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing and lightly flouring it, or lining with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate brownie mix according to its package directions, incorporating any required water, oil, and eggs. Mix until just combined.
- Chop the 24 pieces of NESTLE® BUTTERFINGER® Bites Candy into smaller, desired-sized pieces.
- Gently fold about two-thirds of the chopped Butterfinger candy into the prepared brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining one-third of chopped Butterfinger candy over the top of the batter.
- Bake for the duration specified on the brownie mix package, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before attempting to slice.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 20 even pieces and serve.
Notes
For best results, strictly follow the brownie mix's package instructions for liquid and egg additions, and baking time. When adding chopped Butterfinger pieces, gently fold them into the batter just before pouring into the pan to preserve their crunch. Avoid overbaking, as this yields dry brownies; a slight wobble in the center indicates a fudgy texture. For clean cuts, cool completely before slicing. A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt after baking can beautifully enhance the chocolate and caramel notes.
