"Symphony" Brownies

"A "chocoholic's" dream come true. I was looking through the brownies on the 'Zaar' this morning and found ONLY 232; so I decided to add two more that are a bit different (this and Bourbon Brownies). Hope you enjoy."

  1. This brownie is always a big hit and is easy to make. I use two Duncan Hines Turtle Brownie mixes with the caramel packet. I mix the first batch (according to the fudgy brownie option), put it in the pan, then place 4 "license-plate" (the largest available) size Symphony bars with toffee and almonds side to side across the 9 x 13" pan, filling in any cracks. Then, cover with the second brownie mix, squiggle the caramel over the top and pull a serated knife down lengthwise to make a fun pattern. Be careful not to overbake. Will need to cool completely before cutting into small squares with sharp knife. Enjoy!
     
  2. These should be illegal they are so good!! I used 2 1/2 symphony bars with toffee and almond pieces and used a Betty Crocker supreme brownie mix with hershey's syrup. Crazy delicious!!!
     
  3. Truly delicious! It is surprising that you can get such a wonderful brownie by doctoring a brownie mix. I substituted 1/3 c buttermilk for the water and 1/2 cup melted butter for the oil. I also added 1 t. of vanilla and used a Pillsbury fudge brownie mix instead of Betty Crocker. My brownies were done after cooking for 35 minutes. I do not really like brownies that much...just made these for a book club meeting, but these are outstanding!
     
  4. I love these brownies as well, but the last two times i have made them my candy bars are not even melting, Please advise.
     
  5. This is hands down my husbands favorite brownies in the whole world. It's so crazy rich that only a tiny bite is all you need to be satisfied!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a Midwesterner, turned Northwesterner for 30 years and finally a Southwesterner. I retired in 1995 and have had time to enjoy, even more, the things I love, like cooking and entertaining special people in our home--family and good friends. Fortunately, my husband enjoys cooking too (one pot meals), so he relieves me a few times a month.
