Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 (1-oz.) unsweetened chocolate baking squares; 3/4 cup butter; 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar; 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar; 3 large eggs; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 1 cup pretzel sticks, broken into pieces; 2 (3.7-oz.) king-size chocolate-coated caramel-peanut nougat bars, coarsely chopped

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil.
2
Microwave chocolate squares and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Whisk in granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Whisk in flour, vanilla, and salt.
3
Pour mixture into prepared pan; sprinkle pretzel sticks and chopped nougat bars over batter.
4
Bake at 350u00b0 for 52 to 54 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Lift brownies from pan, using foil sides as handles. Gently remove foil, and cut brownies into 16 squares.
5
Note: Be sure to insert wooden pick into brownies, not candy bar pieces, when testing for doneness. We tested with Snickers King Size candy bars.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
