In my opinion, brownies are baked good royalty. They're more satisfying than cookies, aren't as messy as cupcakes, and have the mood-improving power of chocolate and carbs. As an avid consumer of brownies, I always try to shake things up with new toppings or a hybrid recipe. This "everything but the kitchen sink" recipe breathes life into the plain brownie with some college student junk food staples.

Step 2
Combine melted butter, coconut oil, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Make sure to whisk very well for 1-2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is a pale yellow color (about another minute).

Step 3
Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, gently stirring until the ingredients are just combined. Avoid over-beating so the brownies don't come out too cakey.

Step 4
Gently fold in crushed pretzels, popcorn, chips, and Twix bar crumbles. If it looks like a mess, don't worry. You're doing things right.

Step 5
Scoop batter into the cupcake pan so the molds are filled a little more than halfway. Then, sprinkle the tops with the Chips Ahoy and Oreo crumbs. I used Chips Ahoy on half and Oreo on the other, but you can combine them if you want.

Step 6
Bake for 15-20 minutes. If you are testing the brownies with a toothpick, they should come out dirty for optimal fudge. Remove and allow them to cool to room temperature before you take them out of the molds. Enjoy!
