M&M Brownie Recipe
Packed with fudgy chocolate flavor, M&M's, and chocolate chips, these brownies have the perfect balance of richness—without being overly buttery or too heavy.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie Mix (Duncan Hines) Dark Chocolate Fudge
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder Dutch Processed
- 1/3 cup Milk 83 grams
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) 57 grams
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil 60 grams
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 8 grams
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup M&Ms
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips Milk, Dark, or Semi-Sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 8x8 square pan with baking spray or a homemade pan release. You can also use parchment paper at the bottom for extra insurance and easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter at 15-30 second intervals until completely melted. Set aside until ready to incorporate into your recipe.
- Combine brownie mix, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk together.
- Now, add milk, egg, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Mix ingredients together on low with an electric hand mixer, or by hand with a silicone spatula. Make sure all ingredients are incorporating and not stuck on the bottom.
- Add m&ms and chocolate chips. Gently fold in until evenly distributed.
- Pour brownie batter into prepared square pan.
- Top with extra m&ms and chocolate chips if you'd like.
- Bake for 35-37 min. Use a toothpick or knife and insert into the center – if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s good to go.
- Let brownies cool in pan for 30-45 minutes, and transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
