Milky Way Brownies
Deliciously fudgy brownies infused with Milky Way candy bars, creating a perfect blend of chocolate, caramel, and nougat.
Ingredients
Brownie Base Ingredients
- 1 cup butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- 1 cup granulated sugar Brown sugar can also be used for deeper flavor.
- 2 large eggs Flax eggs can be used for a vegan twist.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blends.
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt A pinch will elevate the flavors.
- 3 bars Milky Way candy bars Chop into bite-sized pieces. Substitute with similar chocolate candy if needed.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until combined.
- Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chop the Milky Way bars into bite-sized pieces and fold them gently into the brownie batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes. The edges should look set while the center remains soft.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter. Check the brownies a few minutes before the baking time ends with the toothpick test. If you prefer variations, other candy bars can be used or combined.
