Re: Help with Brownies Needed

I always get rave reviews for my "Symphony" brownies. Just use boxed brownie mix and mix according to directions on box. Spread half of mixture in pan, cover with Hershey's Symphony candy bars, then spread remaining mix on top and bake. Divine!

I have used several different brands of brownie mix. I've also used the plain candy bars and the ones with almonds and toffee. Oh my, so good. So good that I buy the family size brownie mix for a 9x13 pan instead of a small box for an 8x8 pan. LOL

Sometimes I even put chocolate frosting on top after they cool.

I like to use a simple chocolate ganache topping, glaze the brownies and top with mini chocolate chips or shavings. I use the ulitmate fudge brownie mix. They are very chocolatey!!!

You can also do butterfinger brownies, Bake the brownies and while warm poke holes in them and pour over caramel ice cream topping. Let cool and top with cool-whip and crushed candy bars. So yummy and gooey!

Both are heavenly.

I then line the bottom of the pan with the Yorks. Pour the brownie mix over and bake as directed. Around the holidays I'll add crushed candy canes on top when there is only 5-7 mins left. Enjoy.

Also the psycology of picking up a smaller portion encourage the guests to try them and probably come back for more!

Easily spread the creme out on the brownies. You can then take choc chips and place on top of the marshmallow creme and let melt.....yummy!!

I have found a pan to bake in that creates incredible brownies that I purchased at Target. The pan is wearever and is insulated 13X9. I make 2 boxes of brownie mix by direction and pour 1 1/2 boxes in the insulated pan. I add butterscotch, choc chips, white choc chips, and heath bits. Then I have a small pan of brownies to keep at home with the rest of the mix. I bake the insulated pan for about 40 minutes at 350 and they are very gooey. I am asked by everyone I know to bring brownies to EVERY function. I always run out quick. I think the pan is the best ingredient.
