Blondie-Brownie Pie

Ingredients:

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, cut up

1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

13 fun-size Snickers or other snack-size candy bars

cut-up Snickers and chopped peanuts for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9" glass pie dish with nonstick spray. In a large saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.

Stir in 1 egg and the vanilla until blended, then stir in flour and baking powder until smooth. Scrape (don't spread) 3/4 cup into prepared pie plate; freeze 10 minutes, or until firm.

Meanwhile melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Stir melted chips, remaining egg and the cocoa powder into remaining butter.

Press chilled batter evenly over bottom and halfway up sides of pie plate. Top with Snickers, then chocolate batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 24-27 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in middle, let stand 5 minutes until soft, then spread to blondie crust in decorative swirls. Top with garnishes. Cool before cutting in wedges.
