Notes

Substitutions:

Semi-sweet can be used in place of bittersweet chocolate, but keep in mind that the chocolate flavor will not be as strong.
Seasonal M&M's can be used to make these brownies more festive!
To add extra flavor, try using your favorite filled M&M's: peanut butter, caramel, brownie, etc.

Expert Tips:

Be careful not to over-mix the brownie batter.
If you’re worried the brownies may stick, place a piece of parchment in the bottom of your pan and spray with baking spray!
These brownies are very fudgy. If you like them a little more done, leave in an additional 5 minutes.
To get clean slices, be sure to wipe off your knife after each cut!
