Symphony Brownies, a.k.a Crack Brownies

These brownies are known by many names – symphony brownies, toffee brownies, candy bar brownies, and most recently – crack brownies.  These delicious little gems take about 30 more seconds to make than traditional boxed brownies and all that “extra effort” is well worth it!!

All you need is:

• a family size brownie mix (enough for a 9 x 13 pan) and the ingredients to make these according to package directions
• 3 large (5 oz) symphony bars

That’s a lot, I know, but you can manage.

Line the pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray – this will help to remove and cut the brownies later.

Mix the brownies according to package directions, and pour half of the batter into your lined pan.

Top the batter with the three candy bars.

Cover the candy bars with the remaining brownie mix and bake.  Allow to cool completely before you lift the brownies out of the pan.

Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar, if you like.  But you don’t really need it.  They’re completely delicious without it!
