Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2/3 cup M&M chocolate candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Line it with parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over for easy removal after baking.
- In a heat-safe bowl over a double boiler, fill a medium saucepan with about two inches of water and place it over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter, chocolate, and both types of sugar into the bowl above. Stir frequently until melted. The mixture should be glossy but grainy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking each egg well before adding another. Continue whisking until the mixture lightens in color and becomes smooth.
- Add the Dutch process cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract into the bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour with a large spatula until just a few streaks of flour remain; do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan, leveling off the top using an offset spatula. Sprinkle the M&M’s evenly over the top.
- Bake your brownies for about 45 to 50 minutes or until edges are set. A toothpick inserted two inches from the side should come out with just a few crumbs; avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
- Remove from oven and set on wire rack to cool. Allow cooling completely before slicing into squares.
