Ingredients
  

  • 10 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Dark Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract Alcohol-free
  • 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup M&M Candies
  • 1/3 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar or Chips chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven and line a square metal pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Melt the butter and the first portion of chocolate chips together until completely smooth.
  • Whisk the dark cocoa powder into the warm chocolate mixture to bloom the flavor.
  • In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the sugars, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Gently pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until just incorporated.
  • Sift the flour, espresso powder, and salt into the bowl and fold with a spatula until nearly combined.
  • Fold in the M&M candies and chopped chocolate pieces until evenly distributed.
  • Spread the batter into the pan, add extra candies on top, and bake until a toothpick has moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing for the best texture.

Notes

• Measuring: Use a kitchen scale for flour to prevent the brownies from becoming dry or cakey.
• Pan Choice: Use a metal baking pan rather than glass to ensure the edges don't overcook.
• Alcohol-Free: Always verify that the vanilla extract and all chocolate components are alcohol-free and halal-friendly.
• Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for an even denser texture.
