Chocolate Overload Loaded Brownies

These are amazing! From Chocolate, Chocolate and More. As a chocoholic, I believe the more chocolate, the better.

Chocolate Overload Loaded Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 box Brownie Mix 
• Ingredients called for on box
• 1-2 cups Chocolate Candy (I used Snickers, Milky Ways and Hershey's Kisses)
• 1/2 cup Chocolate Fudge Sauce
• Canned Chocolate Frosting (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven according to box directions.
2. Grease bottom of your brownie pan (size will depend on your mix). I also like to line my pan with parchment paper.
3. Chop all candy into chunks.
4. Prepare brownie mix according to box directions.
5. Fold in chopped candy.
6. Spread as evenly into prepared pan as you can.
7. Lightly warm fudge sauce.
8. Using about 4-5 spoonfuls, drizzle across the top.
9. Use a toothpick or knife blade to swirl the fudge sauce into brownies but do not mix in.
10. Bake according to box directions.
11. Let cool completely before cutting and removing from pan. 

Tip: 

        For added decadence, place about 1/2 cup frosting in sauce pan and heat just until            frosting melts. Drizzle over brownies.

Enjoy!
