Description
These fudgy m&m brownies are the sweetest way to bring color to your dessert table! This brownie recipe has the perfect balance of fudgy and chewy, packed with colorful m&m’s and melty chocolate chips throughout.
Ingredients
- 1 Box Brownie Mix
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter (salted)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Mini M&Ms (see instructions)
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 325°F. Prepare a parchment lined 8×8 inch square pan with baking spray or a homemade pan release. Let the parchment hang over the edges—instant handles!
- Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter at 15-30 second intervals until completely melted. Set aside
-
Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the brownie mix, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and water. Stir until the batter is almost combined—don’t over-mix.
-
Chocolate Chips: Add the mini m&m’s (reserve 1 tablespoon for topping) and chocolate chips to the brownie batter and gently fold them in with a spatula until evenly distributed.
-
Spread Evenly: Spread brownie batter into 8×8 prepared baking dish, until evenly spread.
-
Bake: Bake for 40 minutes.
- Top with Mini M&Ms: Pull brownie out of the oven, sprinkle with reserved mini m&m’s.
- Finish Baking: Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs. We don’t want a completely clean toothpick, we want these fudgy!
- Cool Down: Don’t skip the cooling time! These brownies finish setting as they cool. For clean slices and the best fudgy texture, let them cool fully (or even chill briefly) before cutting & enjoying.
Notes
Brownie Mix: My favorite brownie mix is Duncan Hines-Dark Chocolate Fudge (18.2 oz).
