How To Make M&M’s Brownies

Why I love brownies as a quick dessert is because they really go together quickly and you don’t even have to break out your stand mixer, which is always a win in my book!

Why Do You Use Melted Chocolate In This Recipe Instead Of Cocoa Powder?

In this brownies recipe, I use melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder because if gives your brownies a deeper chocolate flavor, as well as adding to the thick, dense texture. A brownie made with cocoa powder, like My Kid’s Favorite Brownies, are fantastic, but you don’t get that same fudgy texture.

What Flavors of M&M’s Would Be Good In Brownies?

This is a fantastic place to get creative with flavor combos! I used regular Milk Chocolate M&M’s in this recipe, but M&M’s have really upped their game in the last few years with amazingly fun varieties. Here are a few options that I would love:

Peanut M&M’s – A huge classic!
Mini M&M’s – They sell these down the baking aisle in bags and are PERFECT for baking! I usually opt for the minis in my cookies and brownies!
Peanut Butter M&M’s – The best M&M candy. Fight me.
Pretzel M&M’s – These could add a fun crunch!
Almond M&M’s – If you’re an almond lover these could be good! Plus you could add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract into the batter to add a little extra almond flavor!
Seasonal M&M’s like Mint, Coconut, Candy Corn, Hazelnut, Coffee – You can’t go wrong!

I use M&M’s in so many recipes here on my site, so if brownies aren’t your thing, or if you are looking to use up some extra candy you have on hand I have plenty of options for you!
