    Living the Gourmet: Snickers Brownies

    As I sit here writing this, I realize that we’ve reached ‘that time of year.’ Which time of year is that? Siting by an upper floor window, imagine looking out at a balmy night punctuated by an ever so slightly chilled breeze. Eyes scan the distance, pools of lamp auras and starlight flicker across river waters, and you see your life passing in the crests of the waves beating against the docks. Beyond still bare willow branches, the early horizon is fading from its cosmic black, the stars dulling away into the void, drab shades of purple and pink straining through the dark, and you wonder what that horizon would look like unstained by streetlights and river lamps. In these hours, the silence is complete, broken only by the occasional ripple of a wave, or the murmur of mischievous night animals.

    Living the Gourmet: Snickers Brownies

    It’s one of the first real summer evenings, the sort of evening every artist imagines drawing some vast inspiration from, as if over-late nights hold the keys to some forbidden brilliance. Yet, as the saying goes, “The mind is wherever it pleases to be. It is the body that is trapped.” Which is to say, those who hunt for inspiration, have already lost it.

    Instead, what’s best at red eyed moments such as these is to simply give into oneself. What else is there really to do? For example, I might indulge a craving, perhaps a bit of chocolate, perhaps a moist brownie prepared with melted caramel and nut candies.

    Yes, precisely that, which brings us to today’s recipe, a purely decadent pan of Snickers Brownies, which are the perfect ‘cheat snack’ either late at night, or to lift the spirits during the day . Of course, they’re also sure to be a hit at parties, a perennial crowd pleaser for all ages.

    To prepare them we start with a regular brown box mix, add in evaporated milk, cooled black coffee, eggs, vegetable oil, and chopped Snickers bars, then stir. Set in a baking dish, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until they pass the ‘toothpick test’ as shown below.

      Caramel and peanuts in brownies are always a winner and you can never go wrong with Snickers. These would be devoured Catherine!!

      Dark & dangerous sweets, don't hand them out lightly 😀

      Any recommendations as a thin topping?

        Dear Ramona,

        As for a recommendation for a thin toppings perhaps, raw sugar, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, chopped pretzels or perhaps chopped cookies.
        I think any of those would add an extra layer of fun.
        Have a beautiful weekend and thank you for visiting. xo
