Ingredients

Units Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup M&M’s
  • 1/3 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan and Oven: Line an 8×8 inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper covers all four sides for easy removal later. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together until smooth and fully combined. Whisk in the dark cocoa powder until the mixture is uniform and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix the Sugars and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture. Whisk gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the all-purpose flour, espresso powder, and salt gently until the batter is almost combined without overworking it.
  6. Fold in M&M’s and Chocolate: Gently fold the 3/4 cup M&M’s and the chopped semi-sweet chocolate into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with additional M&M’s for decoration. Bake for 33-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached but not wet batter.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper edges and cut into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
  9. Storage: Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For best results, measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid packing flour, which can make brownies dense.
  • If you do not have an 8×8 inch metal pan, use a similarly sized baking dish and adjust baking time slightly as needed.
  • Espresso powder is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor depth.
