Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 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. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray and line it with parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over by an inch or two for easy removal after baking.
  2. Melt Butter, Chocolate, and Sugars: Set up a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and placing it over medium-low heat. Place a heat-safe bowl over the pan, ensuring it does not touch the water. Add the butter, chopped semi-sweet chocolate, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until fully melted and combined into a grainy but glossy mixture. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Add Eggs: Whisk in eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Continue whisking until the batter lightens in color and develops a smooth, shiny texture.
  4. Mix in Cocoa, Salt, and Vanilla: Add Dutch process cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients uniformly.
  5. Incorporate Flour: Gently fold in the flour using a large spatula. Mix until just a few streaks of flour remain to avoid overmixing, which can make the brownies tough.
  6. Transfer Batter and Add Toppings: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use an offset spatula to level the surface evenly. Sprinkle the M&M chocolate candies evenly on top.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick about two inches from the side; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy rather than dry and cakey.
  8. Cool and Slice: Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out by the parchment paper edges and slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to blend smoothly for a glossy batter texture.
  • Do not overmix after adding flour to maintain brownie tenderness and fudginess.
  • Use Dutch process cocoa for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Let brownies cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Substitute M&Ms with other colorful chocolate candies or chocolate chips if preferred.
