These brownies are thick, gooey, and fudgy with colorful candy-coated chocolates on top, perfect for a quick homemade dessert that feels indulgent and fun.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (135g) cosmic candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M’s minis)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until just melted, then let it cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract while whisking gently until the batter is glossy and smooth.
  5. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder if using.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread with a spatula.
  8. Sprinkle the cosmic candy-coated chocolates evenly over the top, pressing a few gently into the batter.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes. Brownies are done when edges look set but center jiggles slightly.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. Optionally chill for 15-20 minutes for easier slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid cakey brownies. Start checking brownies at 20 minutes to keep them fudgy. Use room temperature eggs and melt butter carefully. Press candy toppings slightly into the batter to prevent sliding. Cool brownies completely before slicing for clean cuts. For easier slicing, chill brownies after cooling.
