Chewy & delicious Snickers Brownie Bites are filled with brownie, nougat, caramel, peanuts and topped with chocolate!
Delicious Snickers Brownie Bites taste like snickers and brownies had a chocolatey baby dessert. They are SO yum!!! If you can’t get enough snickers try No Bake Snickers Cheesecake, Pretzel Snickers Bites, and Snickers and Caramel Apple Dip.
Snickers in Brownie Form!
We have another delicious and easy dessert to share with you!!
This is basically a Snickers candy bar but in brownie form! It all starts with a brownie base (you can use a box mix from the store, or make your favorite Homemade Brownies), and has layers of nougat, caramel, and roasted peanuts.
We topped it off with both white chocolate and milk chocolate, and even left some plain without a chocolate coating.
It’s a great treat to let your kids help with as you dip it in the candy coating. Enjoy!!
Snickers Brownie Base
PREP. Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13×9 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
BROWNIES. Make your brownies according to package directions and pour into pan. Bake and let cool completely.
NOUGAT. In a medium bowl, mix marshmallow fluff and peanut butter until well blended. Spread over brownie mixture.
CARAMEL. Place unwrapped caramels in a microwave safe bowl with 2 TB heavy cream and heat for 1 minute. Take out and stir. Continue to microwave in 30 second increments until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.
PEANUTS. Pour caramel mixture over nougat layer and immediately pour on peanuts making sure you press them in a bit. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Chocolate Topping
SHAPE. Cut brownies into bite size pieces and place back in fridge.
CANDY MELTS. Place candy melts in a small pot and place on low heat stirring until completely melted. Place tops of brownie bites in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
*Tip: let the kids help in the kitchen by putting the warm chocolate coating in a shallow plate or dish and having them dip the brownie bites in the chocolate.
SET. Let brownie bites set for at least 30 minutes. Place in air tight container to store.
Tips + Variations
Feel free to use the store bought brownie bites to save on time and extra ingredients. They are usually small and thicker than if you just made brownies and cut squares out of them. OR use our fudgy brownie recipe.
Ways to mix it up:
- You could add mini snickers to the brownie bites before baking them. This way you get more snickers flavor into the dessert
- You can dip some in dark chocolate
- Use dark chocolate brownie mix
- You can use crunchy peanut butter to add even more peanut taste.
- Use crunchy peanut butter and omit the peanuts. Your bites may not have as many peanuts this way, but it is an option
- Make your own caramel with corn syrup and sugar and use that instead.
Storing Info
STORE in an airtight container. They should last about a week in an air-tight container at room temperature.
If you FREEZE them, they can last up to 3 months.

The addition of the snickers with the brownies works so perfectly! Everyone always goes crazy for these.
I wonder if you can substitute almond butter in the nougat and chopped almonds in place of peanuts and come out with something close to the Snickers w/Almonds candy bar???
Ooh you probably could! I haven’t tried with almond butter/almonds, but if you give it a try, we’d love to hear how they turn out!
These were so decadent and rich. I loved the small bite size, although my teenage sons took several at once lol! This was a hit at our home.
