Recipe Steps:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar until well combined.
- Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
- Sift in 1 cup of cocoa powder, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Add Snickers and Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in half of the chopped Snickers bars and 1 cup of chocolate chips (if using) into the brownie batter.
- Bake:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Snickers bars over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and cut into squares.
Storage Options:
- Room Temperature: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerate: For a firmer texture, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
