Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper.
2
|
In a small bowl, add the bittersweet chocolate and butter. Place over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir often until fully melted. Remove from the double boiler and allow to cool for a few minutes.
3
|
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
4
|
Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture has doubled in size. Scrape down the bowl to make sure everything is properly combined.
5
|
While mixing on low speed, slowly pour in the chocolate butter mixture.
6
|
Once it is fully combined, add the flour, cocoa powders, and salt, and fold until mostly combined.
7
|
Lastly, fold in the M&Ms until evenly dispersed.
8
|
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with an offset spatula. Top with more M&Ms, if desired.
9
|
Bake the brownies for about 35 minutes.
10

Allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many hearts as you can. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut them into 16 squares. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🫗Whisk Dutch-processed and black cocoa powders with hot melted butter before adding other ingredients to deepen chocolate flavor and eliminate any grittiness for silkier brownies.
- Reserve M&Ms for Topping ❤️Save your Valentine's M&Ms to press into the batter just before baking rather than mixing them in, preventing color bleeding and keeping them vibrant and distinct on the finished brownies.
- The Toothpick Test Matters 🎯Remove brownies when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached—not completely clean—for fudgy, bakery-quality texture that firms up as they cool.
- Cool Completely Before Cutting 🧊Wait at least 2-3 hours before cutting into squares or hearts; this allows the structure to set properly and prevents crumbly, jagged edges for picture-perfect presentation.
- Enhance with Espresso Powder ☕Stir 1-2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder into the cocoa mixture to amplify chocolate depth without adding coffee flavor—a professional baker's secret for richer, more complex brownies.
