  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, partially melted
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all purpose Gold Medal Flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Frosting

  • 1 stick butter (salted)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5-6 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup mini M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking dish with six 3-inch paper baking cups to ensure easy serving and clean-up.
  2. Mix Brownie Batter: Place the partially melted unsalted butter into a large mixing bowl and microwave if necessary. Add granulated sugar and vegetable oil, mixing until well combined. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Next, add flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and mini chocolate chips. Stir until the batter is thick and fully combined.
  3. Bake the Brownies: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread flat. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until fully baked through. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, at least 30 minutes to an hour, to set.
  4. Prepare the Frosting: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the stick of salted butter, stirring occasionally. Once melted, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a medium-large mixing bowl. Allow the chocolate to cool for 10 minutes so it’s not too hot for the next steps.
  5. Finish Frosting and Decorate: When the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk and vanilla, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Finally, sprinkle the mini M&M’s on top for a colorful and fun finishing touch. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Adjust powdered sugar in frosting for desired sweetness and thickness.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular size if mini is unavailable, but mini blends better in batter.
  • Use parchment or silicone liners if you prefer instead of paper baking cups.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
