Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate finely chopped
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 ¾ cups light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour properly measured
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup M&Ms
  • 1/4 cup Mini M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup M&Ms regular and mini for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped chocolate and butter to a large microwave safe bowl.
  3. Microwave in 30 second increments stirring well each time then set aside to cool.
  4. In the large bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment fitted add the sugar and eggs. With the mixer on a medium speed beat for around 5 minutes or until the mixture is pale yellow and has increased in volume.
  5. To the mixing bowl, add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture along with the vanilla extract. Turn the mixer to its lowest speed and beat for a minute or until uniform in color. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the bowl.
  6. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together. Stop mixing when there are still a few streaks of flour remaining.
  7. Add the 3/4 cup M&Ms 1/4 cup mini M&Ms and very gently fold them to incorporate into the brownie mixture.
  8. Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking pan, and smooth the top into an even layer.
  9. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup M&Ms over the top and lightly press them into the brownie batter.
  10. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the brownies comes out with a few fudgy crumbs on it.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it completely cool in the pan before turning out and slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Bittersweet chocolate: If you're using a sweeter chocolate, like semisweet, slightly reduce the sugar in the brownies. Also, if you can't find bittersweet baking chocolate, a good quality bittersweet chocolate chip will work.
  • Butter: If you're using unsalted butter, increase the salt by about 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Cocoa powder: I use regular unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe.
  • M&Ms: You can use all mini or all regular sized M&Ms if you prefer.
