Celestial-Sized Candy Bar: Choco-Smash CANDY Bar Brownies

The Pym Kitchen Menu describes the Choco-Smash Candy Bar as:

Choco Smash Candy Bar with Dark Chocolate, Peanuts, Caramel, Nougat and Chocolate Brownie

When I tried this amazing dessert, it tasted like a combination of brownies and Snickers candy bars. To me, that’s a match made in heaven.

I decided to turn the candy bar into brownies as opposed to trying to recreate the actual candy bar, because I think it is easier, more user friendly, and tastes basically the same, without all of the extra work!

The bottom layer of these Choco Smash (Snickers) Brownies is obviously brownies. For the nougat, peanuts, and caramel layer, Instead of making nougat from scratch, you will add Snickers candy bars that will be melted on top of the brownies.

Next, comes a layer of gooey caramel. For the top layer, you will pour a decadent dark chocolate ganache over the entire pan of brownies to take the taste over the top!

Ingredients Needed

To make Avengers Campus Choco-Smash Candy Bar Brownies at home, you will need the following ingredients:

Brownie Mix – You can use any brownie mix for this recipe. I like to use Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix because Ghirardelli brownies are best brownies I have ever had!

Eggs + An Extra Egg Yolk – The back of the brownie mix calls for 1 egg, but adding an extra yolk will create a chewier, more decadent brownie base.

Milk – Using milk instead of water, results in a richer brownie.

Melted Butter – Using melted butter instead of vegetable oil enhances the chocolate flavor.

Snickers Candy Bars – Roughly chopped Snickers candy bars is an amazing short-cut ingredient in this recipe. Using Snickers eliminates the need to make homemade nougat, which will save you a ton of time.

Caramel Bits – These Kraft Caramel Bits are what I prefer to use because they melt so easily, but you can also use any caramel pieces roughly chopped.

Evaporated Milk – This is used to help create a creamier caramel sauce in the Choco-Smash Brownies recipe.

Dark Chocolate Chips – The Choco-Smash candy bar at Disneyland is covered in dark chocolate. For the brownies, you will be making a microwave chocolate ganache to cover the caramel layer. I like to use Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Chocolate Chips.

Heavy Cream – This will be combined with the chocolate chips to make the chocolate ganache.

Steps to Make Choco-Smash Candy Bar Brownies

[1] Brownie Layer– In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg, egg yolk, milk, and melted butter. Generously spray an 8×8 glass baking with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the batter. Use a silicone spatula to level the batter. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

[2] Snickers Layer – While the brownies are baking, begin to unwrap the Snickers Minis bars. When the brownies have finished baking and are still warm, sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the brownies. Place the baking dish back in the oven for 2 minutes to slightly melt the Snickers.

[3] Caramel Layer – Place the caramel and evaporated milk in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir constantly until it is smooth and completely melted. Pour the melted caramel over the Snickers layer.

[4] Ganache Layer – Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 60 seconds. Remove and stir. Place the ganache back into the microwave and heat at 50% power for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Repeat at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the ganache is melted. Pour the ganache over the caramel layer of the brownies.

[5] Allow the brownies to cool completely. Cut the brownies into squares, or strips, if you want them to look like the Choco-Smash Candy Bar.
