Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour *see notes below for measuring*
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup m&ms
- 1/3 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a square metal 8x8 baking pan (see notes below) with parchment paper to cover all four sides. Then preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
- Melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Then whisk in the cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Whisk the sugars, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Then whisk in the melted butter and chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the flour, espresso powder, and salt until almost combined. Then fold in the M&M's and chocolate until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and top with more M&M's. Bake for 33-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out covered in a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before removing, then cut into 16 brownies and enjoy!
- Store leftover M&M brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Notes
*Measure your flour properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale!*
** Use a square pan. You must use a square metal 8x8 baking pan with square edges as shown. Glass or ceramic pans retain heat differently. A pan with rounded edges will need to bake longer than the bake time!
M&M candies: Regular milk chocolate M&M's are used in this recipe. You can also add mini M&M's or different m&m flavors.
