One of the things I always keep on my pantry shelf is Mom’s Brownie Mix. It only takes 15 minutes to make, and is versatile – I use it for all kinds of brownies, cookies, and cheesecake crust. After Halloween, I always take inventory of what candy bars I have left over, and generally I have a huge pile of Nestle’s Crunch bars. I decided to use them this year to make brownies, and these turned out dark and decadent. They disappeared quickly, and I was able to use up the candy bars nobody likes. These brownies were such a hit that I have had a request to make them for an upcoming party I'm attending.


These brownies last a few days if covered, and they also freeze well.
