Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), top and bottom heat. Line or grease your baking pan.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter together with the chocolate. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the white sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until slightly lightened and smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt, then mix again briefly.

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while stirring gently. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Fold everything together just until combined, do not overmix. If using, fold in extra chocolate.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25–30 minutes. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs (not raw batter).

While the brownies are still warm, gently press the red and pink M&M’s on top. The warmth helps them stick without melting too much.

Let cool before slicing for clean edges.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Don't Overbake for Fudgy Centers 🍫
Remove brownies when a toothpick inserted in the center still has a few moist crumbs—they continue cooking from residual heat and will set to perfect fudgy texture as they cool.
Add M&M's While Warm for Better Adhesion 🔴
Press the red and pink M&M's into the brownies immediately after removing from the oven while the surface is still warm, so they slightly sink and adhere perfectly for presentation.
Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🌫️
Whisk the unsweetened cocoa powder with a small amount of hot water before mixing into the batter to enhance its flavor intensity and eliminate any dry powder taste.
Use Room Temperature Eggs for Even Mixing ♨️
Let eggs sit out for 30 minutes before adding them to ensure they incorporate smoothly with the butter and sugar, creating a more cohesive, fudgy crumb structure.
Line Pan and Chill Dough 🧊
Use parchment paper for easy removal and refrigerate the batter for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and achieve denser, more fudgy brownies.
