Last month our church secretary gave me a call and asked if I would make some desserts to serve 48 people. I love making dessert so that was a no-brainer for me. She requested brownies so I made a Tollhouse Brownie, a German Chocolate Brownie and these delicious brownies. Each one of the turned out fantastic. But these Fudgy M&M Brownies were so rich, dense and chocolaty–just the way you want a brownie. They were not in the least cake-like.
I don’t know about you but when I want to eat brownies, I don’t want to eat cake! I’m not looking for a fluffy, airy texture. I want thick, dense and a chocolate overload. Yes, these brownies have it all. They are so mouthwatering you will be drooling over every bite.
If you’re looking for something different and tired of your standard go-to recipes, then give Fudgy M&M Brownies a try. They will certainly satisfy every sweet tooth craving you have. I guarantee you won’t want to stop at just one! And don’t forget to add the ice cream and chocolate sauce. After all, you can never have too much chocolate. 🙂
Fudgy M&M Brownies are absolutely awesome.
These brownies are so rich you will probably have to cut them into smaller pieces. 🙂
Fudgy M&M Brownies are filled with M&Ms. They’re also terrific topped with ice cream and chocolate syrup.
Every bite of Fudgy M&M Brownies will have you drooling.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients for the brownie layer. Even though the brownies look like I used a dark roast chocolate, I only used regular cocoa.
Melt butter.
Add sugar, flour, cocoa, eggs, vanilla and salt.
Mix with an electric mixer. Ingredients will be thick.
Add part of the M&Ms.
Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon until combined.
Press brownie mixture into a greased 9×13″ baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining M&Ms over top of brownies and press down slightly. Bake at 350 for about 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Combine both vanilla and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave about 30 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving about 15 seconds at a time until chips are thoroughly melted. This will probably take about 1 1/2 minutes.
Cool brownies completely before adding chocolate glaze.
Fudgy M&M Brownies are so tempting when you top them with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
These brownies are also terrific “plain.” 🙂
Or you can serve Fudgy M&M Brownies with a little chocolate sauce drizzled over top. Yum.
