M & M Brownies

M & M Brownies

These M & M brownies are such a fabulous treat! These fall somewhere in between a cakey brownie and a fudgy brownie. They are thick, chewy and delicious! I used pink, red and white m & m’s for Valentine’s Day. You could easily swap out the candies for different colors to match any holiday! I am thinking green for St. Patrick’s Day and pastel candies for Easter! Red and green for Christmas would look wonderful, too!
