Total Time:36 minutes mins
Servings:15 brownies
For the brownies:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk divided
- ¾ cup butter melted
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup Snickers Bites candy
- 11 ounces caramel bits
For the chocolate ganache:
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- ¾ cup whipping cream
To make the brownies:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan and set it aside.
Mix together the box cake mix, ⅓ cup of the evaporated milk, and the melted butter in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Spread ⅔ of this batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 6 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips and Snickers Bites candy over the top.
Add the caramel bits and the remaining ⅓ cup of the evaporated milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals while stirring the mixture in-between until the caramel bits have melted completely and then pour this mixture over the cake mixture.
Now evenly pour the remaining ⅓ of the cake batter over the melted caramel and bake for 15 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
To make the chocolate ganache:
Add the chocolate chips and whipping cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals while stirring the mixture in-between until the chocolate has melted completely.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled brownies and allow it to cool completely. Remove from the pan and cut into squares using a sharp and warm knife for clean cuts. Serve and enjoy!
- Chop Snickers bars if you can't find the candies and/or chop caramels if you can't find caramel bits.
- Not really a fan of Snickers but a diehard brownies fan? No problem! You can substitute any chocolate candies for the Snickers in this recipe.
- Use a silicone spatula to smooth the cake batter out in the pan and get an even layer.
