Caramel Snickers Brownies

I know this picture's not the best. The lighting wasn't great. We were at my mom's house and I was getting the kids their brownies and trying to find a place to take the picture. Then my ice cream started to melt so I had to hurry and take it. Just take my word, they're really good. These brownies are so rich and decadent. I'm not a huge dark chocolate fan so they were almost too rich for me. I said almost... they were still delicious!  My husband loves rich chocolate so he really loved these brownies. I recommend serving it with vanilla ice cream to balance out the richness.
