If you find yourself with extra Heath Bars on hand due to Halloween, you need to make these brownies. If you don’t have extra Heath bars on hand, get to the store and pick some up. Look for it in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. If you need another recipe using leftover candy, make this nutty candy bar fudge.

This super simple brownie recipe takes just a few ingredients. I first started making brownies this way when I was in high school and I have rarely strayed from the saucepan approach ever since. It’s just too easy to make them any other way!

We like to change up the recipe a bit depending on what time of year it is and what I have in my pantry! For this batch, we went with Heath Bars! Yum. If you don’t have Heath Bars nearby, you can substitute chocolate chips or chopped chunks of chocolate. Still delicious!

These decadent Heath Bar saucepan brownies are great for dessert but they also pair well with coffee for breakfast… 😉 Enjoy!

I am a native New Englander now living in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina and enjoying summers in sea-breezy Scituate, Massachusetts with my five small kids and two large dogs. I love to cook easy, local, and gluten-free for friends and family.

  1. Yum! At Tulane, a friend used to make brownies and top them with white chocolate and chopped up heath. I might need to add white chocolate to yours and do the same.

  2. I am making used to take to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving. I am also going to have white chocolate chips to the top and the mix. Fact that they are gluten free it’s so helpful because several of the guests cannot eat gluten, but need to remember they are not sugar free or Butterfree so I must make sure not to eat more than one! It will be a challenge.

  3. In the photo I see your have chocolate chips but I don’t see that the recipe calls for them? Am I missing something? Thank you!
