Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and evaporated milk. Beat on low speed until well blended, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spread half of the batter evenly into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and place sliced Snickers bars evenly over the surface.
- Drop the remaining half of the batter by spoonfuls over the candy bars as evenly as possible.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the brownies jiggle slightly when removed from the oven.
- Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have German chocolate cake mix, a chocolate cake mix can work as a substitute. For a nutty touch, add chopped peanuts or walnuts along with the Snickers. Ensure the brownies are sufficiently cooled before cutting to achieve clean edges.
Serving Suggestions
These gooey Snickers brownies are perfect on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also pair beautifully with coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun twist, drizzle caramel sauce on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate candy instead of Snickers?
Absolutely! You can substitute Snickers with any chocolate candy bar you prefer, such as Milky Way or Reese's. Just ensure the candy has a similar texture to create an equally gooey result.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when they slightly jiggle in the center but are set around the edges. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
Yes, you can make these brownies a day in advance. Just wrap them tightly once cooled and store them at room temperature. They also taste great after a day, allowing the flavors to meld together!
