Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Several Milky Way Candy Bars (chilled and chopped into ½ to ¾ inch pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan (or 8×8 inch for thicker brownies) with parchment paper, creating a 'sling.' Lightly grease any exposed pan sides.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk granulated sugar and room-temperature eggs for 2-3 minutes until light, foamy, and slightly thickened. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the slightly cooled melted butter into the sugar-egg mixture. Whisk gently until just combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold about two-thirds of your chopped, chilled Milky Way candy bars into the brownie batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle remaining chopped Milky Way bars over the top, pressing gently.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (9×13) or 30-35 minutes (8×8). Edges should be set, center slightly jiggly. A toothpick should have moist crumbs, not wet batter, but not clean.
- Allow brownies to cool fully in the pan on a wire rack for 2-3 hours. Resist cutting warm.
- Once cooled, use the parchment sling to lift out. Use a sharp, warm knife (wipe clean between cuts) to slice into squares. Enjoy!

Keywords: Mix only until dry ingredients are just incorporated to avoid cakey brownies. Pull brownies from the oven when the center is still slightly soft for maximum fudginess. Chill Milky Way bars briefly for easier chopping.
