  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavor for an indulgent treat.
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt elevates all the flavors and balances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray your baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the butter and 1 1/3 cups of semisweet chocolate chips in a bowl, stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, and kosher salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Top generously with Valentine's Day M&M's.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the brownies completely in the pan. Cut into heart shapes or squares to serve.
