**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped candy bars (such as Snickers, Twix, Reese’s Cups, etc.)
– Additional candy bars for topping (optional)

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. Gently fold in the chopped candy bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.

8. If desired, top the brownie batter with additional candy bars, pressing them slightly into the batter.

9. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

10. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

11. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut them into squares and serve. Enjoy the fudgy goodness!
