Sinful because it was just Halloween and I already made brownies! I guess the bag of mini chocolate bars weren’t enough. Also, they might have only lasted two nights in the house.
What else am I going to do with the left over m&m’s packages? Seriously, kids in my neighborhood – I would have hooked you up! This is what happens when you have trick or treat aged kids at home. We’re out going door to door and miss most of the kids. Except for those that come around at 9pm. Ummm sure, these pj’s are totally my costume.
Actually I was Queen Elsa earlier in the night and my daughter was Princess Anna. Most popular costumes for 2014? Check! Shout out to Optimus Prime who held his own out there, bag in hand and determined look on face. Good haul. The Lego man is my husband, who got treated like a celebrity out there. He got some serious thumbs up and high fives!
These sinful brownies started out with m&m’s on top before they went in the oven. As you can see they sunk so once I pulled them out of the oven I pressed more on top. I have lots to go around! Usually I go with a Ghirardelli mix for brownies as I did with the oreo cheesecake brownies and peanut butter brownies but these ones are my new favorite.
Rich, gooey and sinfully delicious. Anything that disappears that fast has to be a winner!
Here’s another batch in blue…
- ½ cup butter
- 225 g chocolate chips. Roughly 1½ cups
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- m&m's for topping
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the butter and set aside to cool.
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla.
- Slowly incorporate the eggs with the cooled chocolate mixture. Tempering to avoid scrambled bits.
- Add the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Press m&m's on top of the brownies.
- Cool completely before slicing.
These brownies look seriously so delicious.. could definitely devour one right now. Great recipe!
Those brownies look perfect! They would disappear quick in our house too! Great costumes. Our son was Optimus Prime, for the 3rd year in a row. We got our money’s worth on that costume. Lego Man is very cool and creative!
Money well spent lol! We bought his a size too big in anticipation of a repeat next year 🙂 I’ll pass along your comment to my husband. I barely saw him for a month while he made that thing!
These brownies look CRAZY good!
I love the top, how it magically gets crisp & flaky.
Love your family pic fr Halloween, too. We’re so boring.
Really need to get on the ball and get dressed up next year!
Thanks! We’re already considering another batch they were so good! I think I got major points from my daughter choosing Elsa 🙂
This is beautiful! I love how the colorful M&Ms stand out!
Thanks Sharon!
