Kitchen Sink Brownies

Have you heard the expression "Everything but the kitchen sink?" That's what these brownies include. Brownie, chocolate chips, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cups. Well, not everything but the kitchen sink, but it's a lot of extra stuff! Got extra Halloween candy lying around? Just throw it in this mix!

Bradley and I made these for Chris, so I threw in a bunch of extra sweets that he enjoys and would compliment a rich, chocolate brownie. The brownie itself was extremely moist and very chocolatey, so it would easily pass on its own. But who could deny the opportunity to throw in so many other delicious sweets? Modify the extras to meet your liking...nuts, white chocolate chips, coconut. Regardless these will be stinkin' good!
