Mint M&M Brownies are the perfect St. Patrick's Day Treat, especially if you use my homemade brownie recipe!
Before you know it, St. Patrick's Day will be here, so I thought I would share with you an easy recipe for Mint M&M Brownies. Instead of using a boxed version, I always make mine from scratch.
Making these brownies only requires a few simple ingredients, but what puts them over the top are the Mint M&M candies that they are topped with.
How to Make Mint M&M Brownies
If you keep a stocked pantry at home, then you will have no trouble whipping up a batch of these.
To start with, you only need --
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan. I used my Pioneer Woman pan that the kids got me for Christmas. They are a glass version of Pyrex, but they have the cute PW logo on the bottom.
In a large saucepan, melt ½ cup butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in ⅓ cup cocoa, ½ cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
Once you spread the batter in the pan, top it with 1 cup of Mint M&M Brownies.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
My daughter likes a chewier brownie, so I always undercook mine just a bit. She likes it to be cooked enough that it will hold together, but gooey enough that it's almost like brownie batter.
Once they are done, give them a little bit to cool off before you cut them. Then, once you do, the M&M's stay melted, and your brownies end up with this amazingly delicious mint flavor.
