Snickers Brownies

I was innocently browsing through a magazine (Celebrate for Fall) when this recipe jumped right off the page and onto my "recipes I gotta try" list.
Now usually this list gets forgotten, but I had an event coming up to make these for (so I wouldn't eat them all myself), so I decided to give it a try. I was talking to Heather when I cut and tried them for the first time and she was practically jumping through the phone to have a bite because I was ranting and raving about how yummy they are.
The caramel frosting is so yummy and makes these just over the top delicious!
Parker doesn't like frosting so I left some of them without just for him. Snickers Brownies

2 (20 oz) pkgs Brownie Mix (I used one with chocolate chips in it)
5 Snickers bars, chopped
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 c. Powdered sugar
3/4 cup caramel topping, divided
2 Tbs. heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped

Brownies
Preheat oven to 350 and spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
Prepare brownie mixes according to package instructions.
Stir in chopped Snickers bars & pour into prepared pan
Bake 45 min. or until set. Cool completely

Frosting
Beat butter & sugar in bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.
Add 1/2 cup caramel topping, beat well.
Add cream & beat well.
Spread frosting over cooled brownies.
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts & drizzle with remaining caramel sauce.

ENJOY!!

Yum! I'm not a huge Snickers fan but those look dang good! Will have to watch for carmel topping. Some things are tricky to find. I have seen the brownie mixes.
