Crazy Brownies
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (18 ounces)
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 9 peanut butter cups
- 12 chocolate-covered caramels, such as Rolos
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup candy-coated chocolates, such as M and Ms
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan.
- Put the dry cake mix in a large bowl and stir in the evaporated milk.
- (The mixture will still be dry.)
- Next, pour in the melted butter, stirring gently until the mix just comes together (don't over-mix).
- Divide the mixture in half and press half of it in the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Lay the peanut butter cups over the top.
- Peel the caramels and place them in the spaces between.
- Sprinkle the nuts into the cracks, followed by the chocolate candies.
- Finally, sprinkle the salt all over.
- Put the other half of the batter on a cutting board and press it into a square a little smaller than the pan (it will be very sticky).
- Transfer it to the pan and lightly press it to cover all the ingredients.
- Bake until the batter is fully baked, 22 to 25 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely, then place the pan in the fridge, covered in foil, for a couple of hours.
- Remove the brownies from the pan in one piece, then sprinkle on plenty of powdered sugar.
- With a sharp serrated knife, cut into small squares.
- Gobble 'em up!
