Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Fold in 1.5 cups of M&M's candies.
• Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining M&M's on top.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
• Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
