Candy Brownies

This just might be the easiest thing I've ever posted, because there are basically no baking skills required.  All you have to be able to do is measure, crack an egg, and stir.  I think anyone can do that.

I also think that basically everybody loves brownies.  They're chocolate, kind of like a cake but not really, and normally easy to make (since basically everybody gets the box recipe).  But, as with all good things, too much of a that thing is a bad thing.  So, to justify having even more brownies, you can add a little twist so that it is just different enough for it to be unique.  There are a lot of different things that you can do to make the brownies taste a bit different yet still be a brownie, but in this blog I'm going to focus on what you can add prior to baking the brownies.

Now if you'd like to, you can use a personal recipe to make the actual brownies.  If you're like me and don't have much time to make them from scratch, however, you can do what I do most often and buy a boxed mix.  Follow whatever directions you have for whichever brownies you please.  If you buy a boxed mix make sure you have eggs, oil, and water so you don't have to ask your neighbor for something (guess who did...guilty).  In addition to the traditional ingredients, go out and get some of your favorite candy.  Stay in the chocolate and caramel related candies, Sweet Tarts or Jelly Beans might taste a bit weird in brownies.  Personally, I added Twix, M&M's, Reese's, Hershey's chocolate, and chocolate chips.

Make sure to cut the candy into smaller pieces, you don't want to go for a bite of brownie and get just a Reese's (unless you do want that).  I cut the Reese's into sixths, the Twix into little slices, and I broke the Hershey's squares into halves.  The M&M's and chocolate chips don't need to be smaller, obviously.

Once you've made the brownie mix, pour it into the pan in preparation of putting it in the oven.  If you'd like to use chocolate chips, you could add them before pouring the mix.  If you'd like to, then about one cup should be a good starting point, and keep in mind that you will be adding more candy.  You can also sprinkle the chocolate chips on as a filler between the other candy.

Sprinkle the candy on while attempting to achieve an even distribution, this way you'll get a variety of candy in the brownies and it's not all centered in certain areas.  Once you're happy with your sprinkling of candy, bake the brownies according to directions.

Enjoy!!
