I've also found that I can use different types of miniature candy bars besides Snickers Bars! Actually the first time I started preparing these bars was back in 2003\/2004! I'd prepare them for our youth group each month! I also made them again 8\/14\/13 and took them to the Volunteer Resources Dept. today as I volunteer for the local hospital! The bars were well received! I've used either a yellow cake mix or a Golden Butter Cake Mix! I used miniature candy bars-about 1 cup, chopped: I used a combination of Snicker's bars, Babe Ruth mini candy bars, and mini Nestles' candy bars to equal about 1 cup! I also added 1 tsp. vanilla extract for flavoring! I did grease and flour my baking pan-for me, I've found that the bars are easier for me to remove from the baking pan! I baked 25 minutes and used a cake tester to test the bars!

These were just amazing! I was looking for a different variety of brownie, one that was decadent, yet would really wow the kids. This fit the bill well! I actually sold them at a sale and saved a couple back for my husband and I to enjoy later, and they disappeared too. I would highly recommend them!!<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"09\/04\/2014 16:10","GUID":"93b69e0a2f164d19bef2d9766c506e29","MemberId":7433760,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"juliacooks","SubmittedDate":"09\/04\/2014 16:10"},{"Comment":"
These were good and didn't last long. I will try a chocolate mix next time. I used m&m's and added pretzel broken up. The possibilities are endless, I will even give this treat as a Christmas gift in a jar idea.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"51a3933739f34463a1526e5b034b7a64","MemberId":5671414,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mptwins","SubmittedDate":"12\/20\/2013 16:16"},{"Comment":"
These were Delicious! They come out just like brownies!<\/p>
My alterations to the recipe were: I used German Chocolate cake mix and added 1 tsp of coconut extract, Qty-15 various "fun" size candy bars left over from Halloween, and 1\/2 cup of chopped nuts. I needed to add about a tablespoon or so of water when stirring in the chopped nuts and candy bar pcs because batter was quite thick and difficult to work with. This recipe is a great use of leftover Halloween candy bars. I will be making this recipe now every Halloween!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"12\/10\/2013 12:22","GUID":"069173db2cf34cdeb130c9291c7bd14d","MemberId":7466004,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Survivorgirl","SubmittedDate":"12\/10\/2013 12:20"},{"Comment":"

I've used this recipe from time to time and I think it's GREAT! I've also found that I can use different types of miniature candy bars besides Snickers Bars! Actually the first time I started preparing these bars was back in 2003\/2004! I'd prepare them for our youth group each month! I also made them again 8\/14\/13 and took them to the Volunteer Resources Dept. today as I volunteer for the local hospital! The bars were well received! I've used either a yellow cake mix or a Golden Butter Cake Mix! I used miniature candy bars-about 1 cup, chopped: I used a combination of Snicker's bars, Babe Ruth mini candy bars, and mini Nestles' candy bars to equal about 1 cup! I also added 1 tsp. vanilla extract for flavoring! I did grease and flour my baking pan-for me, I've found that the bars are easier for me to remove from the baking pan! I baked 25 minutes and used a cake tester to test the bars! Thank you, Amy Voights, for sharing this scrumptious recipe! delowenstein<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"08\/15\/2013 18:02","GUID":"d052fe7a9f4541dabf871f32b43f88ca","MemberId":3766053,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"delowenstein","SubmittedDate":"08\/15\/2013 18:01"},{"Comment":"
These were excellent!! I love the taste of cake, but I am sometimes in the mood for something more travel-friendly. These held together wonderfully. I did spray the pan with non-stick spray before spreading the mix in so they did not stick at all. I will try this with different candies next time. The Snickers seemed to get a little chewy on the parts where the caramel touched the bottom of the pan.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"07\/08\/2013 19:11","GUID":"61ce1ddd9e314ed1b18a4efe16e0bc90","MemberId":7329946,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"MorganHomeMaker2008","SubmittedDate":"07\/08\/2013 19:11"},{"Comment":"
Since we are almond lovers, I made with Almond Joy bars and a choc. cake mix. Added 1 tsp almond extract and another 1\/4 cup finely chopped almonds.<\/p>
