Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup assorted Halloween candy, chopped into small pieces (such as M&M's, Snickers, Kit Kats, Reese's, etc.)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully melted.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped Halloween candy pieces into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish before cutting them into squares.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
