Ingredients for Baby Ruth Candy Brownies

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine
  • Brown Sugar
  • Light Corn Syrup
  • Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Quick Oatmeal
  • Chocolate Chips
  • 6 ounces butterscotch chips
  • Spanish Peanut

How to Make Baby Ruth Candy Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup light corn syrup.
  3. Stir over low heat until margarine melts and sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add 3 cups quick-cooking oats and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  6. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes.
  8. While the brownies are baking, prepare the topping:
  9. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 6 ounces butterscotch chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Stir in ½ cup creamy peanut butter and ½ cup roasted peanuts.
  11. Once the brownies are out of the oven, immediately spread the melted topping evenly over the warm brownie base.
  12. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and to allow the topping to set.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
