- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs

How to Make Chewy Snickers Brownies
1. Prepare the Baking Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch metal baking pan.
- Line the pan with parchment paper:
- Place one long piece of parchment in the pan, letting it overhang on two sides.
- Place a second sheet perpendicular to the first, creating overhangs on all sides.
- Butter the parchment for easy removal later.
2. Make the Brownie Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, espresso powder, and boiling water until smooth.
- Add the finely chopped unsweetened chocolate and whisk until melted and combined.
- Stir in the melted butter and vegetable oil.
- Whisk in the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
- Gradually mix in the sugar until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour and salt. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
3. Assemble the Brownies
- Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing it into the corners.
- Sprinkle ¾ of the chopped Snickers over the batter.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading evenly to cover the Snickers layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining Snickers pieces over the top.
4. Bake the Brownies
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the brownies cool for 1½ hours.
5. Cool and Serve
- Using the parchment overhang, carefully lift the brownies from the pan.
- Place them on a wire rack and allow them to cool completely for about 1 hour.
- Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
Tips for Perfect Snickers Brownies
- Dutch-Processed Cocoa: For a deeper chocolate flavor, stick to Dutch-processed cocoa.
- Espresso Powder: Enhances the chocolate flavor but doesn’t make the brownies taste like coffee.
- Snickers Placement: Distribute Snickers chunks evenly to get gooey bits in every bite.
- Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
