Rich and fudgy M&M’s Brownies packed with chocolate flavor and colorful candy pieces for a fun twist on a classic dessert. These brownies feature a smooth, glossy chocolate batter enhanced with Dutch process cocoa and studded with crunchy M&M’s, baked to perfection with a soft interior and a slightly crisp edge.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 1/4 cups (285 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (100 g) Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cups (95 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

Topping

  • 2/3 cup M&M chocolate candies

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Line it with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal after baking.
  2. Melt Ingredients: Using a double boiler setup, melt the butter, semi-sweet chocolate, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the mixture is melted and glossy but may appear slightly grainy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Add Eggs: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes lighter in color, smooth, and shiny.
  4. Mix Cocoa and Flavorings: Stir in the Dutch process cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Add Flour: Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the batter with a spatula just until a few streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Transfer Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with an offset spatula.
  7. Add M&M’s: Sprinkle the M&M candies evenly over the surface of the batter.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. The edges should be set, and a toothpick inserted about two inches from the side should come out with only a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy rather than cakey.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Once cooled, slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs helps create a smooth and shiny batter.
  • Do not overmix the flour to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
  • Double boiler melting method prevents chocolate from burning and ensures a glossy texture.
  • Be careful not to overbake; check with a toothpick to retain fudginess.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and clean edges.
