About Mars Bar Brownies
Mars bar brownies is also known as candy bar brownies. It is an amazing recipe to try during halloween season, since you would be left with tons of candy bars. Looking for all delicious recipes to use up those candy bars, just add them to brownie batter. Yum!
The brownie batter uses melted chocolate and butter so the end result is so much fudgier and moist. I love the pockets of caramel and chocolate dispersed all over the brownies.
The inspiration for this recipe comes from the fried mars bar candy which I saw in a TV show. I didn’t want to deep fry mars bar, but decided to add them in some baked goodies to experience the melted mars taste.
