HOLD THE PHONE!!!
I was posting this later in the week, but I am still in a sugar coma from how AMAZING these Snickers Brownies were!
This is one of those recipes that has INSTANTLY become a classic in our home. I am a ROCK STAR around here today!
First Layer: The Brownie.
Take a mix, make it according to directions. Add an entire jar of hot fudge sauce to the batter, directly from the hot fudge jar. Stir it all in.
Bake. DO NOT OVERBAKE. In fact, I pulled mine out and was just a little worried about the center, but it finished baking after it was out.
Get a kid to help you if you have a spare. 🙂
Layer 2: The Nugget.
This is the most complicated layer. Not really that hard, so don’t worry.
** I used Trader Joes Cookie Butter INSTEAD of Peanut Butter in this recipe. I am weird that way.
Melt the butter, with the sugar and the milk. Bring to a boil and add the marshmallow. Add the peanut butter and vanilla. Then stir in peanuts. Pour over cooled brownies.
Layer 3: Caramel.
I used Butterscotch Caramel. Mrs. Renfros (sp?) is the best, but Walmart didn’t have it. Dang.
Scoop the caramel into a pan, heat it up just a little so it is liquidy and not all cold and hard to spread. Then pour over nugget layer that is solid because you had it in the fridge!
Layer #4: The Chocolate Topping
Taa Daaa! You are almost ready to eat yourself silly!
Take the PB and add it to a bag of chocolate chips in a pan, add about 1T oil. Melt the chips slowly, do NOT burn.
When it is smooth, pour it over the caramel layer.
Stick that back in the fridge, and when the top layer is set, you are ready to eat!
I would suggest cutting into small squares. It is soooo rich! But sooooo good! It tastes JUST like a Snickers Bar but better!
You know how you have that stand by recipe you take everywhere because it is really good and everyone asks for the recipe? Yeah, that will be this one!

I just gathered my kids around the computer to look at these pictures and they all said, “we should make those right now!!!!” I just got back from shopping at the dollar store and getting all the great deals and now I am going to have to go back to get everything I need for these brownies!
Thanks so much, I love your site and look at it several times a day. I live in Ohio so some of my stores are different than yours, but you have helped me save so much money. Thanks again!

Oh thank you so much Christina! I am so glad you have 7 also! I need you to move by me so I have a friend close with a bunch of kids! 🙂
Oh my gosh Tiffany, those look AWESOME! Yum! Pinned 🙂
think that these can be made without the marshmallow (or can you recommend a substitute?).
Gosh, I am not sure. The marshmallow makes them set up in a way, so I am not sure. Anyone know???
Wow! These look so good! Snickers is my favorite candy bar, so I’m definitely making these. One question though. In the directions it says to add an entire jar of fudge topping to the brownie mix, but in the ingredients list it says 1/4 cup. Can you verify the correct measurement please? Thanks, Tiffany!!
Ok I went back and looked at each recipe and I CAN”T REMEMBER!! So I am going to say 1/2 cup! Lets meet in the middle. For some reason I was thinking I used the entire jar, but just in case I am going with 1/2 cup! 🙂
Do you think unsealed/salted butter matters I forgot the fudge lol we will see how this turns out!!! Happy Thanksgiving and for all you do!!!!!!!
I really want to make these but i hate peanut butter is trader joes cookie butter regular peanut butter or is there a subsitute
Trader Joes is like peanut butter in a way. What have you used in the past as a substitute. I am totally not thinking of anything!
