INGREDIENTS- Unsweetened chocolate: 2 oz, melted
- Canola oil: 1/3 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Large eggs: 2
- All-purpose flour: 3/4 cup
- Salt: 1/2 tsp
- Chocolate chips: 1/2 cup
- Chopped candy bars: 1 cup (such as peanut butter cups, Snickers, or 3 Musketeers)
- Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms: 1/4 cup
- Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a baking sheet with a raised rim.
- Step 2:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate and oil until smooth.
- Step 3:
- Stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Step 4:
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Step 5:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Step 6:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 7:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to form a large circle.
- Step 8:
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Step 9:
- While the brownie bakes, chop your favorite candy bars into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 10:
- Once the brownie is out of the oven, let it cool slightly on a wire rack for about 5 minutes (it should still be warm but not hot).
- Step 11:
- Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips, followed by the chopped candy bars.
- Step 12:
- Add a festive touch by sprinkling the top with Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms.
- Step 13:

- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
- Customize the toppings with your favorite candies to make it your own!
