M&M Brownies – these chocolate fudgy brownies are an easy and fun treat to make that is loaded with colorful M&M’s!
You guys know that brownies are my favorite dessert. There are easily 50 Brownie Recipes on this site. Everything from your classic Homemade Brownie to decadent over the top brownies like these Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies.
You really can’t go wrong with fudgy chocolate in my opinion.
There is just something about homemade brownies in my opinion. A box mix is good in a pinch, but making brownies from scratch really takes about 5 minutes and only uses about 6 ingredients. So it is hard to beat.
These M&M brownies are loaded with M&M’s to make them not only tastier; hello more chocolate! But also fun and great for parties and get togethers. You can use the holiday M&M’s for any holiday there is or pick out certain colors to make them for your sports team, a baby shower….you name it!
How To Make M&M Brownies
This is a really simple recipe to make, you can really start with a box mix for if you want. But here is how to make them from scratch.
- Start by mixing together the vegetable oil and melted chocolate until it is nice and well combined.
- Add in the sugar and eggs and mix until the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Stir in the flour and salt until the flour is just incorporated and not white streaks remain.
- Fold in your M&M’s. Mix until they are just combined.
- Pour into a prepared pan and sprinkle more M&M’s over the top!
- Bake until a tester comes out mostly clean. Let them cool before slicing.
Seriously, 6 ingredients and about 5 minutes and you have homemade brownies! When you use a box mix you have to measure the oil and water, so it isn’t like you are adding that many more steps to make these.
Why Do You Use Melted Chocolate Instead Of Cocoa Powder?
I prefer using melted chocolate when I am making brownies because I think it gives it a deeper, richer, more chocolatier taste. I also find they turn out denser and fudgier than brownies made with cocoa powder.
But if you are in a pinch there are substitutions on the back of a cocoa powder container that you can look at if that is all that you have.
Can I Use Flavored M&M’s
You bet! I used plain M&M’s for these pictures, but just about any variety would work. Peanut and Peanut Butter M&M’s are my favorite to mix in. But if you like the Almond M&M’s or the Pretzel ones that go for it. I haven’t tried the Caramel ones, but I think they would be amazing too!
If you are looking for a fun new way to dress up brownies, these are going to be a sure hit. So easy to make, super chocolate-y and really fudgy brownies are never a bad idea!

Oh so tempting! I know what I am making this weekend!
Yay! the best brownie recipe I’ve tried, definitely making these again!
Brownies with M&Ms are way better than regular brownies!
Oh wow! These are going to be gone in a matter of seconds! Can’t wait to make these!
Wow, I never know that M$M can go really well with brownies. Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe. I baked it for my coworkers and they loved it. I just changed a little thing in the recipe. Instead of the regular size, I used mini ones, so every bite there was more M&M ad also I can eat the mini while making the brownies 😉
