Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for extra richness)

  • 1/2 cup M&Ms (for topping, plus extra for garnish)

For the White Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (for smoothness)

Instructions: How to Make These Irresistible Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Pan

First things first: preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the brownies from sticking. Trust me, parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze!

Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until everything is smooth and well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If you’re in the mood for an extra chocolatey treat, fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips (they’re optional but highly recommended for that extra layer of indulgence).

Step 3: Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Pop them into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on them, though! You want to test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter. The brownies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Once done, let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares. Trust me, letting them cool will make them easier to slice—and the fudgy texture will be perfection.

Step 4: Make the White Chocolate Drizzle

While the brownies are cooling, it’s time to make the white chocolate drizzle. Place the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream (or milk) in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it or the chocolate might seize up.

Let the melted white chocolate cool slightly before drizzling it over the brownies. This way, it won’t run off too quickly and will have that perfect drizzle effect.

Step 5: Drizzle and Garnish

Once the brownies have cooled completely (patience, my friend!), drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the brownies. You can use a spoon or, for a more controlled drizzle, try using a piping bag.

Before the white chocolate sets, sprinkle the M&Ms on top for an extra burst of colour and crunch. The M&Ms will stick to the soft drizzle, making these brownies not just delicious, but fun to look at too!

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Allow the white chocolate drizzle to set for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature. Once it's firmed up, slice the brownies into squares and get ready to enjoy the perfect combination of fudgy, chocolatey goodness.

Tips for Perfect Brownies

  • For Extra Fudginess: If you like your brownies extra fudgy (who doesn’t?), slightly underbake them. Take them out of the oven when a few moist crumbs stick to the toothpick instead of fully dry crumbs.

  • Make It Festive: Want to match the brownies to a holiday or special event? Use M&Ms in seasonal colours—red and green for Christmas, pastel colours for Easter, or even orange and black for Halloween!

  • Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep them for longer, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze them for 2-3 months.

Why These Brownies Are So Irresistible

These fudgy brownies are the ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers. The rich, moist texture is perfectly complemented by the sweet, creamy white chocolate drizzle and the crunchy, colourful M&Ms. Each bite is a delightful combination of chewy, chocolatey, and sweet elements. Whether you're baking them for a party, a holiday, or just because you need a treat (we all do), these brownies are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

So, grab your ingredients and get ready to bake the most delicious brownies ever. Trust me, your friends, family, and taste buds will thank you. Enjoy!
