The brownies must be fudgy. I&#8217;m really not a fan of cake-like brownies, because they taste like cake. Not that they&#8217;re&nbsp;necessarily bad or anything, but if I want cake I&#8217;ll have a slice of cake. But when it comes to brownies, I prefer the rich and thick, fudgy kind of brownies.<\/p>\n<p>This M&amp;M&#8217;s and chocolate chip brownies recipe&nbsp;comes from these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/fudgy-peanut-butter-cup-brownies\/\">fudgy peanut butter cup brownies<\/a>, which are also amazing. I absolutely love this recipe because it&#8217;s simple, yet still tastes just as good as the box mixes. You can literally make these brownies in just about as much time as it would take you to make a box mix too.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the M&amp;M&#8217;s, you probably have most of the ingredients to make these right now. These are a perfect quick and easy dessert to make for Valentine&#8217;s Day. I took part of the batch to my parents and sister, and my niece was so excited about them. Apparently, brownies with M&amp;M&#8217;s are the best thing ever to a three-year-old. Who would have thought? I can guarantee that everyone will love these brownies!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1893 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-2.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A stack of three chocolate chip M&amp;M's brownies on a square of fabric. \" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-2.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-2.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-2.jpg?resize=300%2C450&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Needed for This Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;re likely familiar with the ingredients needed to make this easy Valentine&#8217;s dessert, but let&#8217;s go over them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:&nbsp;<\/strong>Gives the brownies a melt-in-your mouth texture. I recommend using unsalted butter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>Sweetens the brownies.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:&nbsp;<\/strong>Should be room temperature before being added to the batter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:&nbsp;<\/strong>Adds lots of flavor. Pure vanilla extract is best.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-measure-flour\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spoon and level the flour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so you don\u2019t end up with cakey brownies.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>Needs to be sifted to remove any lumps.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>Enhances the chocolate flavor and balances out the sweetness from the sugar.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate chips:&nbsp;<\/strong>I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but any kind will work.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>M&amp;M&#8217;s:&nbsp;<\/strong>I used red and pink M&amp;M&#8217;s, but you can use any color you have on hand.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Make Valentine Brownies&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>These M&amp;M&#8217;s brownies are a breeze to make! Simply whisk together the melted butter and sugar (this gives the brownies that crackly top everyone loves!). Then, stir in the eggs and vanilla.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gently stir in the dry ingredients, just until everything is combined. Fold in the chocolate chips before turning the batter into a foil-lined 8&#215;8-inch baking pan. Top with M&amp;M&#8217;s before baking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll know the brownies are done when the edges start to pull away from the pan and the center looks cooked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1894 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-6.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Overhead view of a stack of three Valentine's Day brownies on a square of fabric.\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-6.jpg?w=680&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-6.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Valentines-Day-Brownies-6.jpg?resize=300%2C450&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Can I Use Other Mix-Ins?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes!
