They say the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, but that’s just too general for me, so I say the way to a mans heart is making these Peanut Butter SNICKERS® Brownies AND serving them while he watches football, one of the many reasons these are called Husband Bars:

  1. Give a man a good brownie, he will fall in love
  2. Let a man watch football while serving said brownie, he will fall in love
  3. Give a man some chocolate candy bars during the football game, he will fall in love
  4. Combine chocolate candy bars and brownies, he will fall in love
  5. Combine chocolate candy bars, brownies AND his favorite peanut butter cookies, he will fall in love
  6. Combine peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate candy bars, brownies AND football, you have yourself a husband and #Chocolate4TheWin

Since football season is coming up (seriously, time is just flying this year, where did summer go?) which means lots of last minute get-togethers for game watching, I like to keep some mini candy bars on hand for treats, and since buying chocolate candy in bulk is SO much cheaper at SAMs Club, I bought I giant bag and picked up a box of SNICKERS®

Then what I like to do when guests are over put candy in a jar and put a simple little label on the outside of the jar to theme it up a bit (click here for the ‘Time Out Treats – free football party printable’). You can also use them as labels for your different dishes.

What you’ll need to make Time Out Treats are:

You cut up the labels, put some tape on the back of the label, tape it to the jars, and put ‘like’ with ‘like’ candy into jars and you have yourself “Time-Out” Treats!

Now, we’re going to talk about how to make Peanut Butter  SNICKERS®  Brownies, aka ‘Husband Brownies’ !

Peanut Butter-Snickers-Brownies

For this I made what is a combination between a blondie and a peanut butter cookie recipe, all in one bowl for the bottom layer, a brownie layer (again, all in one bowl) and then cut up cut up SNICKERS® bars.

Spread the peanut butter batter in the bottom of a pan, then lay the SNICKERS® bars on top and then spread the brownie batter on top!

And because they’re so decadent, you can cut them into little adorable brownie bites! I made these for my husbands birthday (because hello, they’re ‘husband brownies’ and they were requested) and after I set them out, I came back into the kitchen to get one, and they were all gone, so beware, set these out for a treat, and your guests will eat!

    OMG I cannot WAIT to make these for Matt… probably for Christmas! I’m going to make Wifey brownies just for you! No but seriously this is amazing and I don’t even like brownies that much…but I’m literally DROOLING over these… how do you always do this? You always take things I sort of like but don’t have often and make me think about them constantly!!! Like I won’t stop thinking about brownies until I make these…I’m serious.
