Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Butter melted
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1.5 cups Christmas M&Ms

For the Ganache Topping:

  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • Christmas Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9X13 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the butter, eggs, sugars and vanilla extract until they are well mixed.
  • Then slowly stir in the cocoa powder, flours, salt and baking powder. Mix these ingredients in by hand and be careful not to over mix these ingredients. Then gently stir in 1 cup of the Christmas M&Ms.
  • Spread the batter into the 9X13 pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake or the brownies will be dry.
  • Prepare the fudge topping by heating up the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the chocolate chips and keep stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  • Pour on top of brownies and smooth it out using a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms and Chrstmas sprinkles on top and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the topping to set.
  • Then cut, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store the leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
