What do you do when you have chocolate candy bars lying around and your husband is bugging you to make brownies? You make chocolate candy bar brownies.
And what do you do but blog it after, especially after a lovely food blogger (Ann, that’s you!) urges you to? I blogged this before way back when no one read this, so here it is again, with better pictures.
Our preferred choices. Crunchie – honeycomb wrapped in chocolate. Bounty – coconut wrapped in chocolate. You can use any candy bar you like. These are mini ones, packaged a dozen a pack.
This is a slightly modified recipe I found online. I can’t remember the original source. Oops.
Crunchie Brownie. See the melted honeycomb on top? Delish.
Chocolate Candy Bar Brownies
Author: Alison Lee
Recipe type: Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, and I modify the sugar level based on what candy bar I use. The Crunchie is sweet on its own, so I used ½ cup of sugar)
- 3/8 cup or 85 g tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup or 110g all-purpose flour, sifted
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 4 chocolate candy bars (mini), chopped (you can add as many as you like, 2 would be minimum)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F°. Line an 8 inch metal pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.
- Stir beaten eggs, sugar, melted butter and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder; stir into sugar mixture. Fold in half of the chopped chocolate candy bars.
- Spoon mixture into pan and bake at 350F° 22 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle top with the remaining chopped chocolate candy bars. return to oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on rack, then transfer to refrigerator to chill. When brownies are cold, lift foil from pan and score into squares.
Bounty brownie. Melted coconut everywhere. Swoon.
Make this, and you’ll never regret it.

—Ooo, Mama,
These look Incredible.
I haven’t seen those candy bars since I’ve been in England. We don’t have them here!
Xx
They are delicious aren’t they???
Yes!
I don’t like chocolate.
Therefore this blog post will not make me fat.
Thanks

Mmm! The honeycomb one looks amazing. *mouth watering (or bleeding from having these damn wisdom teeth pulled, I can’t tell anymore)* But as soon as I can, I’m trying this recipe

Sorry about the wisdom teeth extraction (I know how it feels!), but yes, do try these brownies when you can!
I will give Bounty ones a go. Not a huge brownie girl but that photo is making me want to buy a one way ticket to see you

You get candy bars in your mailbox at work?????????????
I do heart brownies. I just made them for our Valentine’s dessert! I like the brownie batter best of all though. I actually tweeted a pic from the box with some annoying warning about not eating the batter. Pppsh.

If I wasn’t pregnant, I would totally lick the batter.
Drooling!

Yum! My favorite candy bar to use in brownies is a Symphony Bar. Try it sometime, if you’re a fan of almond toffee goodness!

We don’t get Symphony over here, but I’ll look out for something similar!
My stomach is growling! Yummy! I licked my computer screen!…ok, I didn’t really, but I thought about it.
Once your contest and photo shoot are over, I think you deserve a brownie!
Yummy! That’s what I’d call delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I think I’m gonna give this a try on the weekend.
Julie ‘s last awesome post..dental cosmetic surgery
Ummm, yes I love brownies!!! They look delicious, although I’ve never heard of those candy bars, they look really good. I’m sure any candy bar would do, right?
And you’re already in your 3rd trimester? Holy cow, time flies!
Runnermom-jen ‘s last awesome post..A Letter…
Yes, any preferred candy bar will do! Do try the sweetness of the candy first though, to adjust the sugar content accordingly.
And yup, 3rd trimester, baby!
Yum, yum! Oh and I so love you and your bump pic on the side. You are rockin’ that bump!

You had me at chocolate although I must admit, I’m not much of a coconut fan. But, as long as there was enough chocolate, I’d probably be fine.
