Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch metal baking pan.
- Prepare the Pan: Line the bottom of the pan with a long piece of parchment paper, letting it hang over two sides. Add a second layer of parchment, perpendicular to the first, for easy removal later.
- Mix Chocolate Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the espresso powder, cocoa powder, and hot water until smooth. Stir in the chopped unsweetened chocolate until melted. Add the oil and melted butter, mixing well.
- Add Eggs and Sugar: Whisk in the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Then add the sugar and mix until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and salt with a rubber spatula until just mixed.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle 1½ chopped Snickers over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then add the rest of the Snickers.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few wet crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Lift them out using the parchment paper and allow to cool for another hour. Cut into 2-inch squares before serving.

Pro Tips for Perfect Chewy Snickers Brownies
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow your eggs and melted butter to come to room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Once you add the flour, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies instead of the desired chewy texture.
- Chill the Snickers: For easier chopping and to prevent them from melting too much during baking, chill the Snickers bars in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before chopping.
- Check for Doneness: Oven temperatures can vary. Start checking your brownies a few minutes before the minimum baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool fully in the pan before lifting them out and cutting them. This helps them set properly and makes cutting easier.
