Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Baking Pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups classic M&Ms
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder optional
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar until slightly cooled.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and espresso powder if using.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of M&Ms evenly into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Press reserved M&Ms on top of the batter.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, checking for doneness by looking for a shiny crust and slight jiggle in the center.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Notes
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor. For a twist, try mixing in different types of M&Ms, such as peanut or pretzel. Ensure the brownies cool completely before cutting to avoid messiness. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. To easily cut the brownies, use a warm knife and clean it between cuts for neat slices.
