Candy Bar Brownies are delicious and super rich. Chopped candy bars are folded into the batter and into a creamy batter to form an incredibly decadent dessert.

Use any of your favorite candy bars in these luscious brownies. One tip: If you use Snickers or Milky Way, chop them just before you add them to the batter, since they can dry out quickly.

These brownies are perfect for a bake sale or for a holiday cookie tray. Serve them with a big glass of milk for a fabulous afterschool treat.

2/3 cup water
2 eggs
12 ounces, plus 10 ounces Snickers bars (chopped and separated)
2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet, or 12 ounces chocolate candy bars)
1/2 cup peanut butter
