Chewy Snickers Brownies

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, letting the overhang extend up two sides. Repeat with a second sheet perpendicular to the first. Butter the parchment.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, espresso powder, and boiling water until smooth. Add the chopped unsweetened chocolate and whisk until melted.
3. Whisk in melted butter and vegetable oil until fully incorporated. Add eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and homogeneous.
4. Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated. Gently fold in flour and salt with a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle 3/4 of the chopped Snickers over the top. Spread the remaining batter over the Snickers, then sprinkle with the remaining candy. Smooth the surface.
6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool for 1 1/2 hours.
7. Using the parchment overhang, lift brownies from the pan. Return to the wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
8. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
