These Valentine brownies are rich and fudgy homemade brownies loaded with chocolate and M&M's, then baked to perfection and cut into heart shapes. The perfect treat for Valentine's Day!

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 1 ¾ cups semisweet chocolate chips divided use, do not use Nestle
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup Valentine's Day M&M's
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan with parchment paper. Be sure to leave an overhang of parchment on both sides. Coat the parchment lined pan with cooking spray.
- Place the butter and 1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips into a large bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until the butter and chocolate are just melted. Stir until smooth.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5-7 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, then whisk in the eggs, one by one. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt to the bowl. Stir gently until just combined.
- Fold the remaining chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top with Valentine M&M's.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. If you're using an 8 inch pan, you may need to add a few more minutes to the bake time.
- Cool the brownies completely.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into hearts with a 2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter. Alternatively you can cut your brownies into squares. Serve.
Notes
- Nestle chocolate chips do not melt as well as other brands. I recommend using Ghirardelli or Guittard chocolate chips.
- The brownies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
