    Brownies with Candy Easy Recipe

    by Patti Estep · Feb 18, 2022

    Jump to Recipe

    We loved this brownies with candy recipe. They are rich and decadent, and you won't believe how easy they are to make. Plus you can make it your own using your favorite candy creating a unique tasty dessert.

    Stack of brownies with peanut butter candies oozing out the side.

    A friend that I used to work with gave me the idea of mixing candy in with a basic brownie mix. It's been years since she told me about her invention but I finally got around to trying it.

    Bag of Reese's thinnns and M&M caramel candies.

    She would say that she often used leftover Halloween candy and mix it into a boxed brownie mix. For mine, I used Reese's Thins and M&M caramel candies. I wanted to try mini Rolo's and mini Reese's cups but I couldn't find them in the store.

    Pan lined with foil. A layer of brownie batter topped with Reese's Thins.

    All you need to do is pour a layer of brownie batter on the bottom of a foil lined baking dish. Then lay the candy on top before covering them with the remaining batter.

    M&M caramel candies and Reese's Thins are layered on top of brownie batter in a pan.

    I tried to keep the candy layer nice and flat so that I could completely cover them with the remaining batter.

    Foil lifted out of pan with baked brownies on top.

    Tip: Using foil makes popping the brownies out of the pan a cinch.

    Baked brownies cut on a cooling tray.

    Cut them and let them cool.
