Introduction

Snickers Brownie Bites combine the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the irresistible crunch and caramel of Snickers candy. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, snacks, or whenever you need a sweet pick-me-up.

Three thick chocolate bars are stacked on top of each other on a white plate. Each bar shows three layers: the bottom layer is dark chocolate with a shiny smooth texture, the middle layer has golden caramel mixed with white nuts and chunks of chocolate, and the top layer is a thick, rich, and slightly rough dark chocolate frosting. The edges of the bars look soft and a bit crumbly. The plate is on a white marbled surface with some chocolate pieces nearby, and the background is dark and blurry. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

1/2 bag Snickers Bites

Tips & Variations

Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option and a slightly different flavor profile.
Swap mini M&M’s for chopped nuts or sprinkles to customize toppings.
If you prefer, try using different candy bites like Milky Way or Reese’s for variety.
Make sure to cool the brownie bites completely before removing them to keep their shape intact.

Storage

Store Snickers Brownie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds if desired.

How to Serve

The image shows several stacked dessert bars with four visible layers: the bottom layer is a dark brown, moist brownie, the second layer is a lighter brown creamy chocolate mousse, the third layer is a golden caramel with chunks of white peanuts, and the top layer is a smooth, shiny dark chocolate coating with small cracks. Some caramel is dripping down from the third layer, making the bars look rich and gooey. They are arranged on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular Snickers bars instead of Snickers Bites?

Yes, you can chop regular Snickers bars into small pieces as a substitute, but Snickers Bites are easier to portion and press into the batter.

Do I have to use frosting on top?

No, the frosting is optional. The brownie bites are delicious on their own, but frosting adds a sweet finishing touch and pairs well with the mini M&M’s.

Notes

Use room temperature butter or coconut oil to ensure smooth batter.
Be gentle when folding in the flour to keep the brownies tender.
Allow brownie bites to cool fully in the pan before removing to avoid them breaking apart.
Frosting is optional but adds a nice sweet finish and helps the mini M&M’s stick.
For a nut-free version, substitute Snickers Bites with a nut-free chocolate candy.
