These are the easiest Fudgy Crinkle Top M&M Brownies. Every bite is rich and decadent, extra chocolatey, perfectly chewy, and oh so fudgy. Made with only a handful of ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, butter, bittersweet chocolate, and (of course!) lots of M&M’s! Truly the perfect treat for any chocolate lover.
We’ve tweaked our classic brownie to give you a dessert that’s better than any other. First, we added more chocolate because, well, the more chocolate, the better! We also included an extra egg for added richness and decadence. And finally, we mixed in a whole bag (10 oz) of M&M’s.
The result? Every bite is a perfect combination of chewy, fudgy, crunchy, and not too sweet. Just like our chocolate brownie cookies, these brownies are easy to mix up with just a few ingredients, a whisk, and a pan. Minimal prep, maximum deliciousness! Perfect for any occasion.

How To Make M&M Brownies (Step-by-Step!)
Step 1: Prepare batter
Combine chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 15 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
Whisk in chocolate mixture.
Stir in flour.
Fold in M&M’s.
Step 2: Bake
Pour into pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or to desired degree of doneness.
How To Tell When Brownies Are Perfectly Baked
We found that, with these brownies in particular, using a cake tester or tooth pick is the best way to tell when they’re perfectly baked. After inserting the cake tester, it should still be a little damp with maybe one or two crumbs on it.
This means that the brownies are still fudge-y and moist, while being just barely baked!

How To Store
Since these brownies are so moist, it’s best to keep them in a zip-top bag or airtight container and in the fridge for 5-7 days. You can also store them in the freezer in a freezer safe bag for up to 2 months!
