Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk or Spatula
- 1 12-cup Muffin Tin
- 12 Paper Muffin Liners
- 1 Set of Measuring Cups
Ingredients
Main
- 1 box 18.4 ounce Pillsbury Brownie mix
- ⅔ cup canola oil
- ¼ cup water
- 2 eggs
- 12 mini Snickers candy bars
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix package, typically around 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, canola oil, water, and eggs.
- Stir the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dry brownies.
- Evenly distribute the brownie batter among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
- Gently press one mini Snickers candy bar into the center of each brownie bite, ensuring it's mostly submerged in the batter.
- Bake for the duration suggested on the brownie mix package for 'cupcakes' or 'muffin tins', typically 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center (avoiding the candy bar) comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the cooled brownie bites to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy these delightful Snickers-infused brownie treats!
Notes
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the brownie mix. To prevent the Snickers from completely melting and losing their structure, ensure they are well-chilled before adding them. Alternatively, you can partially bake the brownies for 5-7 minutes, then gently press in the chilled Snickers before returning to the oven to finish baking. This ensures the candy remains distinct while softening nicely. Be careful not to overmix the batter; mix just until ingredients are combined for a fudgier texture. A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on the warm brownies can wonderfully balance the sweetness.
