Ingredients
Chocolate Mixture
- 2¼ cups bittersweet chocolate
- 9 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Brownie Batter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 10 ounces M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the brownies.
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Spray a 9-inch square pan with baking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval until the mixture is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Combine Chocolate Mixture: Whisk the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
- Add Flour: Stir in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in M&M’s: Gently fold the M&M’s into the batter to evenly distribute the candies throughout.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9-inch pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Adjust baking time to your desired degree of fudginess.
Notes
- For best results, use quality bittersweet chocolate to enhance the richness of the brownies.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to maintain the fudgy texture.
- You can substitute M&M’s with other chocolate candies or nuts according to preference.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting to ensure clean slices.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
