An amazing fudgy brownie that is layered with caramel, peanuts, and nougat and tastes exactly like a Snickers!!

Snickers brownies stacked on top of each other.

I live right down the street from a Sweet Tooth Fairy. Dangerous I know. While I was at my weekly run I spotted a new treat. Snickers Brownies. Now Snickers are my favorite candy bar. They are what finally broke me of my hate for chocolate. Sweet Tooth Fairy’s are made a little different with the brownie on the bottom and more of a caramel nougat frosting on top drizzled in chocolate. I love the recipe for Homemade Snicker’s Bars on my blog. I love that they have layers just like a Snicker’s Bar.

This recipe takes a little bit to make the layers. I think my son even said, “mom you are adding another layer??” But every layer and all of the effort is soooooooo worth it! It is everything that you can possibly imagine in a snickers bar with an added fudgy brownie layer. Can it get better than that? I had to immediately give these to neighbors because I couldn’t get enough of them. If you love snickers and brownies then you are going to love these!

  1. These brownies look perfect with all their layers! We love snickers, so will be trying these soon. Is the jar of marshmallow crรจme a small one? Thank you!

  2. Silly question. Around here I can get two sizes of containers for marshmallow cream/fluff: small (7oz) and large (13oz). To which size is the recipe referring? I’m assuming it’s the former, but please confirm. Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚
