Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of brownie mix (and the required ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup of red, white, and blue M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your brownie mix box. Grease a baking pan (the size recommended on the box) or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box. This usually involves combining the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water. Stir until well combined.
- Add the Festive Touch: Gently fold in half of the red, white, and blue M&M’s into the batter. This will ensure that you have a beautiful, colorful surprise inside each brownie.
- Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining M&M’s over the top of the batter for a festive finish. Bake according to the time specified on the brownie mix box, usually 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This step is crucial for achieving neat, clean slices.
Notes
- Ensure you grease the pan well or use parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- For an even spread of M&M’s in every bite, gently press the candies into the batter once they’re on top.
- Patience is a virtue here. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to avoid a gooey mess.
