Scale
1 box brownie mix, I like Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix
2 tablespoons black coffee, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract2/3 cup red, white, blue M&M candies, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add the brownie mix, coffee, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix together until all ingredients are incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the baking pan and smooth the top using an offset spatula or the back of a large spoon.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the M&M candies on top of the brownies. Do not push them into the batter.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick placed about 2 inches from the side of your pan comes out almost clean.
- Right when the brownies come out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of M&M candies on top.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan on a cooling rack completely before slicing.
