Wow, guys. Just wow! I can totally understand why these brownies are called “crazy.” It is insane as to what ingredients go into them. Talk about a sugar rush! But you know what? They are dang good, man!
Check out what my pals over at The Pioneer Woman had to say about this recipe:
“There is absolutely no excuse for these brownies. No excuse at all. And you know what that means…It means they’re gonna be good.”
These Crazy Brownies are a punch in the pancreas because of all the sugar that they contain, however, they are an amazing treat to indulge in on special occasions. Have your insulin pump on stand by 🙂
Ingredients
1 box Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake Mix, 18 To 20 Ounce Box
1/3 cup PET Evaporated Milk
1 stick Land O Lakes Butter, Melted
9 whole Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (regular Size, With The Paper Pulled Off)
12 whole Rolo Candies
1/2 cup Finely Chopped Fisher Pecans
1/3 cup M&Ms
1/4 teaspoon Morton Salt
Domino powdered Sugar (for Sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Put the dry cake mix in a large bowl and stir in the evaporated milk. (Mixture will still be dry.) Next, pour in the melted butter, stirring gently until the mix just comes together (don’t over-mix.)
Divide the mixture in half and press half of it in the bottom of a greased 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Lay the peanut butter cups over the top. Peel the wrappers off of the Rolos and place them in the spaces between the peanut butter cups. Sprinkle nuts into the cracks, followed by M&M’s. Finally, sprinkle the salt all over.
Put the other half of the batter on a cutting board and press it into a square a little smaller than the pan. (It will be very sticky.) Transfer it to the pan and lightly press it to cover all the ingredients. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the batter is fully baked. Allow to cool completely, then place the pan in the fridge, covered in foil, for a couple of hours.
Remove the brownies from the pan in one piece, then sprinkle on plenty of powdered sugar. With a sharp serrated knife, cut into small squares.
