Transform leftover Halloween candy into delicious stuffed brownies. They are fudgy, chocolatey, chewy, and so easy to make! Everyone will think you're a brownie genius when you really just got creative with trick-or-treat candy.
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with waxed paper and place in the freezer.
Fill bottom pot of double boiler with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
Roughly chop the leftover Halloween candy into small chunks and place in top bowl of the double boiler. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow the candy to melt down completely, stirring frequently.
NOTE: You will have some texture from the non-chocolate parts of the candy that cannot melt down- nuts, cookie, wafer, etc.
Pour the melted chocolate into cold baking pan. Place back in the freezer and freeze until solid (maximum of 30 minutes).
Meanwhile, preheat oven to [wprm-temperature value="350" unit="F"] and center the oven rack. Prepare the brownie mix as specified on the back of the box and set aside.
Remove the frozen candy layer from the baking pan and set aside. Prepare the same 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and a light coat of non-stick cooking spray.
Spread half of the brownie batter into prepared baking pan. Carefully remove frozen candy layer from the waxed paper and place on top of the brownie batter (do not squish down, it should lightly rest). Top with remaining brownie batter.
Bake leftover Halloween Candy Brownies for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick test comes out with few moist crumbs. Allow them to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal slices and enjoying.
