I probably should have shared these double chocolate M&M Brownies with you last week so you could make them for your labor day festivities. Sorry about that – sometimes my lack of organizational skills gets the better of me.

But… these would make fantastic after school treats for those of you with kids! Or really great anytime treats for pretty much anybody who loves chocolate. Basically what I’m saying is that you can’t go wrong with these M&M brownies.

They are incredibly soft and fudgy, and who doesn’t want a brownie filled with both chocolate chips and M&M’s?? They were a hit with everyone I shared them with, and dangerously easy to make. If you like brownies and M&M’s, you’ve got to try these.

P.S. I also made a white chocolate chip version that was pretty amazing as well!

If you’re looking for more great brownie recipes, I’d recommend considering these chewy peanut butter brownies, peanut butter pretzel brownies, cream cheese brownies, or cosmic brownies.  And of course I wouldn’t do you any favors if I failed to mention these chewy brownies (aka The Best Brownies I’ve Ever Eaten)!
