Six Ingredient Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies

Just six ingredients and one bowl is all it takes to make these ultimately fudgy, ooey gooey, and chewy Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies!

Seeing as it’s been WAY too long since I’ve made any brownies on my blog, I decided this week would be the perfect time to break that horrible streak. And boy will you be glad when you see what I have in store for you!

Check out these unbelievably rich Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies!

There’s never been a more beautiful marriage than peanut butter and chocolate. And it’s not just your everyday plain ‘ol peanut butter in these brownies. I decided to go ALL THE WAY by adding these Snickers Peanut Butter Squared bars! 

I mean, why not?

I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out that candy bars and brownies go perfectly together. 

Now, if you’re not much of a peanut butter fan (I don’t know who is, and who would want to?), you can always use regular Snickers bars, and they would be just as good! I just happened to have a lot of these Snickers Peanut Butter Squares from one of my many couponing trips, and I wanted a way to use them up besides the obvious approach of building a Peanut Butter Snickers tower, knocking it over, and devouring it like I’m Godzilla. Anyone else have that same idea? No?

… ANYway….I know I say this a lot about many of my recipes, but this one truly is SUPER SIMPLE and QUICK to make! It only requires 6, as in SIX stinkin’ ingredients to make, and it can all be made in one bowl–NO mixer needed! I love it when I don’t have a ton of cleanup!

Since the main purpose of this recipe was to keep it simple and quick, I used a boxed brownie mix. Thanks, Betty Crocker! Though I did heighten the flavor and fudgy chocolatey-ness by adding espresso into the batter. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the espresso at all! Trust me.

I also added in some chocolate chips because you can never go wrong when you add chocolate to chocolate. I used the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips because they disperse throughout the batter a lot better than the bigger ones. Though if you only have the regular chocolate chips on hand, don’t stress it. They’ll work just fine!

There’s just something about brownies that NOBODY can resist, and these are proof of that! They were unbelievably fudgy and gooey in the middle and chewy around the exterior–everything you want in a brownie. I loved the layer of Snickers peanut butter in the center which melted perfectly into the brownie. So rich! So peanutbuttery! So PERFECT!

While I was tempted to hoard all of these brownies to myself (THEY WERE SO GOOD!!), I repressed my fatty urges and shared them with my coworkers. And boy were they a hit! Without a doubt, I will definitely be making these again, especially since they were so freakin’ easy to make and took barely any time at all!

Sometimes, the best treats are the easiest ones!
