Loaded Fudgy Candy Bar Brownies recipe

 

 

Ingredients:

10 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks), melted
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons brewed coffee (leftover from the morning brew is fine), optional but recommend to enhance chocolate flavor and does not make brownies taste like coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process, I used Hershey's natural)
1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee granules, optional but recommend to enhance chocolate flavor and does not make brownies taste like coffee
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
about 12 to 15 fun-size candy bars, diced in half if it's larger like a Twix (I used Butterfinger, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, Snickers, Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Nestle Crunch, Twix)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for topping
1/3 cup M&M's for topping, optional
