Can I use boxed brownie mix instead of homemade batter?

Yes, you can! Just prepare the boxed mix as directed, fold in chopped candy bars, and bake. The candy adds extra flavor and texture.

Which candy bars work best?

Snickers, Twix, Kit Kat, Reese’s, and Milky Way work perfectly. You can mix and match depending on your favorites.

Don’t overbake them! Remove the pan when the center still looks slightly glossy—it will set as it cools. Store in an airtight container.

Yes, you can replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend for the same fudgy texture.
