My friend Mike Johnson just released his first book, Even Better Brownies!! It is packed with 50 incredible bar recipes that are total showstoppers. As I flipped through its pages, I knew the first recipe I wanted to try was for kitchen sink brownies!

They’re made with a fudgy, decadent brownie base and are topped with our favorite salty and sweet snacks. I’m talking potato chips, oreo, pretzels, and M&M’s! I don’t think it gets much better than that.

Even Better Brownies

I am so proud of Mike for creating such a beautiful page-turner. Even Better Brownies is packed with recipes that are sure to please both beginner and skilled bakers alike.

With recipes ranging from classic fudgy brownies to espresso carmelitas, this book has something for everyone. I can’t wait to bake my way through it and I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy.

Picking the Toppings for These Kitchen Sink Brownies

These brownies can be topped with any of your favorite snacks. Just make sure you don’t add more than 1 cup (240g) of chopped toppings!

This recipe uses chopped potato chips, pretzels, Oreo’s and M&M’s, but you can get creative and use whatever toppings you like best.

Peanut butter cups, honey-roasted peanuts, or even butterscotch chips would all taste great!

Doubling This Recipe

If you want to double this recipe, go for it! Simply double the ingredients and make as instructed.

I recommend baking a double batch in a 9 inch x 13 inch pan to help them bake through properly. Bake the brownies at 350 F for 30-34 minutes. They will be slightly thicker but just as delicious!

Tips for Making The Best Kitchen Sink Brownies

• Properly measure your flour (spoon into the cup measure, then level) or use a kitchen scale to measure your dry ingredients.
• Be sure your ingredients are at room temperature. It helps them mix together better.
• Bake these brownies in a metal pan, not a glass pan! Glass gets hotter than metal pans. If you have to bake these in a glass pan, bake them at 325 F.
• Chill your brownies before cutting into them! It will make them much easier to cut.
• Use a warm, sharp knife to get clean slices. Fill a tall cup with hot water and drip a sharp knife into it. Dry the knife fully, then make a slice. Repeat with each cut and wipe the blade clean after each cut.
• If you want to make this recipe in a 9 x 13 inch pan, double the recipe and bake at 350 F for 30-34 minutes.

Making These Kitchen Sink Brownies In Advance

These kitchen sink brownies keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

You can also freeze them for up to two months! Freeze them uncut on a sheet pan until they’re firm to the touch, then wrap them in a layer of plastic wrap and then foil. Wait to add the toppings until thawing the brownies for best results.

When you’re ready to eat the brownies place them in the fridge overnight, then unwrap and enjoy the following day.
