Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies
Updated March 26, 2019
Happy Halloween! Is everyone ready for the Halloween sugar rush? If you end up having leftover Halloween candy or want to raid your children’s stash, pick out all of the Snickers candy bars you can find to make these Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies. This recipe is perfect for using up the leftover or stolen Halloween candy:)
These decadent brownies are a dream for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. The brownies are fudgy, rich, and dotted with Snickers candy bar chunks. Don’t worry, we aren’t done yet. The brownies also have a thick and creamy peanut butter swirl. Brownies, Snickers, and peanut butter all in one dessert, it doesn’t get much better than this folks!
We weren’t planning on taking our little guy out for trick or treating, but I may have to just so I can load up on Snickers bars. I really want to make these Peanut Butter Snickers brownies again. And it would be my job as a mother to eat his candy since he is too young, right? I am just trying to be a good mama:)
So gather up your Snickers bars and get baking! You are in for a trip to brownie heaven.

I swear you must know me! This would be my absolute favorite dessert ever!!! I may have to bite the bullet and make this!!!
thankfully we do NOT have any leftover candy.
last year we had a ton and I made a “everyone in the pool” bundt cake.
I would not want to make these as they would be eaten in a day–all of it! LOL
good way to use up some of that Halloween candy
Snickers is one of my favorite treats ever…and so are brownies. I’m a goner!
I really want to make these for my Dad. He loves snickers!
If only the trick or treaters hadn’t taken all of our candy, I cannot believe how many people we had last night. May have to buy some snickers just for this recipe!
Yep, this is exactly where our leftover Snickers bars need to go. Yum!
And I just so happen to have Snicker bars in my candy bowl…some people might call that a coincidence but I say…FATE!!!
It was meant to be 🙂
oh, me, oh, MY! those look delish!
Left over Halloween candy? Not in my house! I’ll need to run out and buy more Snickers! Those brownies look amazing!
What a great way to use leftover Halloween candy! Wait, I swore I wouldn’t eat any of it…beautiful images too.
Yummmmm! You have the magic touch when it comes to brownies, Maria! I looooooooove your twix brownies, and even though I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate (I know, weird), I bet these are amazing. And I know the hubster would love them; Snickers are his very fave!
These look wonderfully decadent! I want to live next door.
WOW… I have just made these, so yummy… well worth it! Mmm a nice surprise for my partner when he gets home from work 😀 xoxo
How many fun size snickers would you recommend be used in this recipe to make 1 1/2 cups?
I didn’t count, maybe 10???
These are awesome brownies! Instead of a peanut butter swirl I used caramel because my husband isn’t a big peanut butter fan. Delicious. I think this will be my new go to brownie recipe. Thanks!
So Happy to Finally Find the recipe I have been searching for. Couldn’t spot a PRINT tab on page that would allow me to print only recipe,and not whole 6 pages. Did I miss it?
Look right below the image on the recipe. There is a little printer icon. Click that and a printer friendly version will pop up!
I halved the recipe and swapped in chopped mini eggs instead of the snickers and peanut butter. I loved it! I will definitely try with the peanut butter though. Great brownie recipe!
I made these and we loved them. Great texture and taste. Mine only needed 25 minutes. So good!!
Yummy. In my oven as I type this review. I did double the recipe Andy melted the peanut butter so it would swirl easier and also added some walnuts. Yummy!
I made this and it was bomb!! I’ve shared the recipe with at least 5 people now! Love from Nigeria
Loved it
