How to Make Valentine’s M&M’s Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!

Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Goodness
Gently fold in the Valentine’s M&M’s and chocolate chips (if using).

Step 5: Bake the Brownies
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra M&M’s on top for a festive touch. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
