Ingredients & Their Purpose

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder – Deepens the chocolate flavor and forms the base.
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (optional) – Enhances the chocolate intensity.
• ½ cup boiling water – Blooms the cocoa and espresso for maximum richness.
• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped – Melts into the batter for a smooth, rich texture.
• 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted – Adds moisture and richness.
• ½ cup vegetable oil – Keeps the brownies fudgy and soft.
• 2 large eggs + 2 egg yolks – Adds structure and richness.
• 2 tsp vanilla extract – Balances and enhances the chocolate flavor.
• 2½ cups granulated sugar – Sweetens and helps form the crackly top.
• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour – Provides the brownie structure.
• ¾ tsp salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
• 2 cups chopped Snickers bars, divided – The star ingredient for texture and flavor bursts.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, espresso powder, and boiling water until smooth.
3. Add chopped unsweetened chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.
4. Whisk in melted butter and vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
5. Add eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is glossy and thick.
6. Whisk in granulated sugar until dissolved.
7. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour and salt until just combined—do not overmix.
8. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly.
9. Sprinkle with ¾ of the chopped Snickers.
10. Top with remaining brownie batter and spread gently to cover.
11. Sprinkle remaining Snickers chunks over the top.
12. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
13. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 1½ hours before slicing. Chill for cleaner cuts, if desired.
