Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&Ms (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and ¾ cup of the M&Ms, reserving the remaining M&Ms for topping.
3. Bake the Brownies:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Press the reserved M&Ms into the top of the batter for a colorful finish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake to keep the brownies chewy.
4. Cool and Serve:
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.
- Serve as-is or warm them slightly in the microwave for an extra gooey treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
