Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces (e.g., M&M’s)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- Melt butter and chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Whisk in sugar, then beaten eggs and vanilla extract until glossy and combined.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined.
- Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Top with candy-coated chocolates, pressing them in slightly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then lift out and cut into squares.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fudginess.
- For best results, let brownies cool fully before cutting.
- Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep moist.
- You can substitute with other toppings like chocolate chips or caramel bits.
- To double the recipe, use a 9×13-inch pan and adjust baking time accordingly.
