The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups butter (melted)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dark cocoa powder ((the darkest you can find…do not substitute baking chocolate))
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon regular table salt)
  • 1 cup M&Ms candies
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan (line with parchment if desired)
  • Whisk cooled melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Blend the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until well blended but do not over beat.
  • Fold in the M & Ms, reserving about 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top.
  • Spoon into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Place the peanut butter in a small mixing bowl. Make sure it's microwave safe.
  • Warm it for a few seconds, just until it is soft enough to spread easily.
  • Spoon it in thick lines across the brownies.
  • Use a spoon to swirl it through the brownie batter - don't overmix.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup M&Ms.
  • Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until done but still soft in the middle.
