Valentine’s Brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&M's candies (or candy of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang. If using foil, spray well with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Ina large bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar.
- Add in the eggs, making sure to mix well after each one.

- Ina separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
