Normally, if someone calls your brownies "trash," the resulting confrontation winds up with you being banned from the community bake sale. But these "trash brownies" are actually something that anyone can enjoy, thanks in part to them being absolutely stuffed with all sorts of candy. The trash brownie gets its name from the variety of junk foods piled on top of it.

According to Delish's recipe for trash brownies, one can include toppings such as Oreo cookies, Reese's peanut butter cups, pretzels, M&Ms, marshmallows, and crushed potato chips. Of course, what goes on the trash brownie is entirely up to you. Sizzling Eats goes so far as to suggest using tortilla chips and caramel-flavored popcorn, for example, meaning that you can customize and add whatever suits your taste — salty, sweet, chewy, or crunchy — into your brownies. 

You also may have heard of these brownies before under a different name. According to Betty Crocker, trash brownies are also known as "kitchen sink brownies," and follows the same idea of stuff brownies with as much cookies, candy, and snacks as you possibly can — and desire. Challenge accepted.
