MILKY WAY BROWNIES
www.RecipeGirl.com
1 lb (4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 lb semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet chocolate
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 Tbs instant espresso powder
7 large eggs
2 Tbs pure vanilla extract
2¼ cups granulated sugar
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbs baking powder
1 tsp salt
12 ounces mini Milky Way Bars (chopped)
1 full-size Milky Way Bar sliced thinly
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 12×18x1-inch pan. Line with foil or parchment that hangs over the sides for ease in getting them out (butter the foil/parchment).
2. In a heatproof, medium-bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, heat butter, and chocolates until melted and smooth; cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, espresso powder, vanilla and sugar. Stir the egg mixture into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Cool to room temperature.
4. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to batter. Stir chopped mini Milky Way bars into chocolate mixture. Then pour into prepared baking pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Place slices of the full-size Milky Way Bar onto the top of the brownie batter.
5. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached; do not overbake! Let cool completely, then cover tightly and chill overnight. Chilled brownies are easier to cut.
Yield: At least a couple of dozen, depending on how large you cut your brownies.
Cooking Tips
*These taste better the second day.
**If it’s a warm day inside your house, you might consider chilling the Milky Way bars before you try to cut them.

Yum! Though I’m not a big fan of Milky Ways, these do look quite good. Maybe I’ll try it with Snickers!

Oh my lord. Is this even legal? Those are some insanely good-looking brownies.

WOW..make that double WOW! Those look sinfully delicious! I would use Snickers though, just because I like the nuts ;D. I whipped up some peanut butter cup brownies a few weeks back, along with a few other brownie/blondie recipes I found on different blogs, but too many photos to choose from, so I keep putting off my blog entry about them – you know, ‘blog block’ LOL
OK, I’m rambling! In any event, love your site and the photos are gorgeous and mouth watering!

They look heavenly. But what about if you are just not a coffee person. Should I just add some cocoa powder or skip it altogether?

Hi Kathleen, Funny that you ask because I am DEFinately not a coffee person. I do use espresso powder though in a number of chocolate desserts that I make. It really deepens the chocolate flavor. You don’t taste coffee! You could certainly leave it out, but the flavor will not be quite as good!

These look decadently delicious and since your recipe is adapted from the Barefoot Contessa herself, it’s sure to be spectacular!
Can’t wait for an excuse to make up a batch of these brownies.
