Milky Way Brownies
Putting Milky Way candy bars in brownie batter is possibly the best idea EVER!
ditch the brownie mix and make these aaaaamazing Milky Way brownies!
I’ve updated the photos – and added video – to this post because, well, it deserved a refresh! Not only is this one of my oldest, most popular recipes on the blog, it is also a recipe that I actually make throughout the year. Being in this food space I am constantly turning out food – for myself and clients. And as I mostly favor the “sweet” side of things, I tend to forget some of my older recipes.
But not these delicious brownies!
here’s why this Milky Way brownies recipe is one of my favorites!
The more boxes a recipe can check off for me, the more likely it will become a repeat recipe. Here’s what I love so much about these chocolate brownies:
- they are DELICIOUS – I mean, obviously, right? But if we can agree that it’s kind of hard to make a bad brownie, to make one that stands apart from the rest is a “good thing”. Though not a chocolate lover, a Milky Way is a favorite candy bar of mine, and the fudgy brownie combined with the gooey caramel and chocolate nougat takes these to a whole other level.
- they are EASY – While I don’t shy away from fussing over desserts, homemade brownies (IMHO) should be easy peasy. And these are. You don’t even need a stand mixer! Just two bowls and a whisk.
- they are UNFUSSY – a simple ingredient list, comprised of items you can easily find in the grocery store, means that you can decide last minute to make them and know you’ll be able to quickly get everything you need.
- they yield A LOT – most brownies are made in a square baking dish or sometimes a 9 x13 pan. This recipe is baked up in a sheet pan and yields 4 dozen generously sized brownies. So, basically perfect for parties and barbecues, or if I need to parcel out a bunch of sweet treats to give away at the holidays.
what ingredients do you need?
To make these brownies, you will need:
unsalted butter
chocolate chips
unsweetened chocolate
instant espresso powder
eggs
vanilla extract
sugar
flour
baking powder
kosher salt
Milky Way bars
how do you make them?
Start by melting the butter and both chocolates in a large bowl. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, espresso powder, vanilla and sugar, and whisk that into the melted chocolate butter mixture. Fold in the dry ingredients, along with some of the Milky Way bars and pour into a prepared sheet pan. Top with the remaining Milky Way bars and bake!
This is the ultimate dessert and is always such a huge hit. The prep time is minimal and results in such a special treat that everyone will love! Let me know if you make them (and be sure to serve with a big glass of milk)!
