SNICKERS Ice Cream Brownie Bombes


Snickers ice cream is encased in brownies for an outrageous bite that is sure to please any crowd.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes (+ 2 hours freezing time)

Makes: 10

Ingredients:

1 pkg (18.3 oz) brownie mix

2 Snickers Ice Cream Bars

3 oz dark chocolate, melted

2 tbsp caramel sauce

2 tbsp peanuts, finely chopped

Instructions:

Prepare brownies according to package directions; bake in 11- x 7-inch baking dish lined with enough parchment paper to leave 1-inch overhang on long sides. Let cool completely.

Using 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 10 rounds from brownies; set aside. Using 1-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 10 rounds of brownies; set aside. (Reserve remaining brownies for another use.)

Line 10 mini muffin cups with plastic wrap or paper liners. Press 1 1/2-inch brownie rounds into prepared cups, pressing into bottom and up sides of cups.

Cut each Snickers Ice Cream Bar into 5 pieces; place 1 piece in each brownie cup. Cap with smaller brownie rounds, pressing to flatten and enclose ice cream. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours or until firm.

Remove bombes from muffin cups; transfer to parchment paper–lined tray. Dip each bombe into melted chocolate to coat top and sides. Return to tray; freeze for 1 hour. Keep frozen until ready to serve.

Just before serving, top each bombe with drizzle of caramel sauce and sprinkle of peanuts.

Tip: Short of time? For speedy prep, use store-bought brownies.

Made with pancake mix, these Snickers funnel cakes are a carnival treat that’s fun to share.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Makes: 12

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups pancake mix

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Vegetable oil, for frying

3/4 cup 35% heavy cream

1/4 cup icing sugar, divided

4 (2 oz each) Snickers Ice Cream Bars

3 tbsp caramel sauce

Instructions:

Whisk together dry pancake mix with 3/4 to 1 cup water, granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth. (Batter should be thick but still slightly runny.) Transfer to resealable bag with corner snipped or plastic squeeze bottle.

Pour enough vegetable oil into medium saucepan to come 1 inch up side; heat over medium heat until instant-read thermometer reads 375°F.

Working in batches, carefully and quickly pipe about 2 tbsp batter into saucepan, in swirling, loopy pattern to form 3-inch round. Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side or until golden brown all over. Transfer to paper towel–lined tray.

Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat cream and 2 tbsp icing sugar until stiff peaks form. Cut each Snickers Ice Cream Bar into 3 squares.

Dust funnel cakes with remaining icing sugar. Top each with piece of Snickers Ice Cream Bar and dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with drizzle of caramel.

Tips:

• Alternatively, drizzle with fudge sauce instead of caramel sauce.

• Garnish with 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts.
