How do I make these Snickers Brookies?
There are three parts that you need to make to bring this fudgy dessert mash up together-brownie batter, a peanut caramel sauce and cookie batter.
Cookie layer
Cream the room temperature butter, white and brown sugar together.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Use a spatula to fold into the wet ingredients.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Cover the bowl with cling film and chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Peanut caramel filling
Melt the soft caramels on a low heat until melted.
Add 1/4 cup double cream mix until combined then add the peanuts.
Remove from the heat, but leave in the sauce pan.
Brownies
Line a 20x20cm brownie tin with baking paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter in the microwave, 20 secs at a time. Mix together, make sure the melted chocolate and butter are well combined. This stops the brownies batter from splitting. Set aside to cool for 5-10 mins.
Mix the eggs, sugar & vanilla extract with an electric beater/stand mixer for 3 mins until creamy.
Fold in the slightly cooled melted chocolate and butter mix with a spatula.
Sift half the flour, cocoa and salt into the wet ingredients, fold in with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks.
