Loaded Fudgy Candy Bar Brownies
"These dense, fudgy brownies are loaded with candy bar pieces, making them supremely decadent. They're as fast and easy as a boxed mix, and everything is whisked together in one bowl. I used a variety of fun-size and mini candy bars that were cluttering my pantry. Use the recipe as an excuse to thin our your baking odds-and-ends or the candy accumulated from various holidays. With Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's and Easter candy, there's never a shortage of candy and these bbrownies help thin the stash. Rich, moist, very chocolaty, easy, and ready in a half hour...."
