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 the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the brownies out after baking.
  2. Melt Butter, Chocolate, and Sugars: Set up a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water and heating over medium-low. Place a heat-safe bowl on top without touching the water. Add the butter, semi-sweet chocolate, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl, stirring frequently until melted and glossy but a bit grainy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Add Eggs: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue whisking until the mixture lightens in color and appears smooth and shiny.
  4. Add Cocoa Powder, Salt, and Vanilla: Stir in the Dutch process cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Fold in Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour using a large spatula until just a few streaks of flour remain, taking care not to over-mix to maintain fudginess.
  6. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  7. Add M&M’s: Sprinkle the M&M chocolate candies evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted two inches from the pan’s edge comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy rather than dry.
  9. Cool and Slice: Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out once cooled and slice into squares.

Notes

  • Use Dutch process cocoa powder for the best rich chocolate flavor and smooth texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to ensure fudgy brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before slicing to maintain clean edges.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, you can grease and flour the pan, but be sure to cool before slicing.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
