Whn something had a lot of parts or ingredients, you'd end the list by saying "everything but the kitchen sink." This title is a play on that old saying.

Really Good. I also used a box brownie mix. Especially liked the different textures in the bars.

I use a box of brownie mix. Bake the brownies according to the directions on the box then I add the last four ingredients.
