Insane Brownie Cookies topped with Nougat, Caramel and Chocolate Layers inspired by Snickers Candy Bars!

It’s gonna be a good Friday. Get ready to get your cookie on! I have so many things to say – I don’t even know where to begin. For the first time ever, I might even be speechless because I’m so overwhelmed with what’s going on here. My cookie dreams are coming true right in front of my face – quite literally.

But I will try my best to summarize what’s happening here. First, let me take another bite…

Alright, I’m ready to give you the lowdown on my current situation.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start training for a half marathon. Which basically means I had to mentally prepare myself to actually start running (which took about 3 weeks) and finally gave it a go at the beginning of the week. Since nutrition is supposed to be somewhat important when working out one’s body, I decided to eat as clean as possible at least 6 days of the week, leaving one day to thoroughly enjoy the treats I make on da blog. Well, a couple days in and I started to dream about some crazy concoctions. Which is exactly where these cookies come into play.

More often than not, recipes never turn out EXACTLY the way I envision them. So imagine my surprise when these delivered in all possible ways. I mean, they look 100% the way I hoped they would and outdid themselves when it comes to taste. And yes, I cheated just to chow down on a cookie midweek and I’m not at all regretting it. I’m yoloing my way through workouts and food indulgences – WINNING.

Since these cookies involve several layers, I decided to take a shortcut on the actual cookie part. Using a boxed brownie mix, which I doctored up just a tad bit to make some seriously yummy cookies.

The Nougat layer is up next. I decided to press peanuts into said layer to add crunch and just the right amount of saltiness. And if that weren’t enough, I melted caramels and chocolate to top it all off. But, wait. There’s more.

Cut up pieces of Snickers are the actual grand finale – beautifully sprinkled on top. Try to keep yourself from eating the entire candy bar. You can do it – there may or may not be leftovers ;).

Oh, and let’s quickly talk about the name. Yes, I could have gone with Snickers Cookies, but I think Cookies à la Snickers rolls much better off the tongue. Plus, it makes me smile every time I say it. Giving a fancy name to a treat that will make you feel anything but. Get your stretchy pants on now.

I wonder if I’ll ever love a cookie/candy combo more than this one. Thick, utterly chewy, and totally loaded.

Unlikely.
