TIPS AND FAQS

These brownies are very flexible if you want to take them up a notch, you can frost them with a fudge frosting.  Or add chocolate chips to your batter.  

You can use any type of M&Mโ€™s that you like.  I used the new Fudge Brownie M&Mโ€™s but plain, peanut, almond or any other kind will work. 

If you do not want to melt your butter in a saucepan on the stove you can use the microwave.  Make sure to completely melt your butter before adding the cocoa powder.

HOW LONG DO THESE KEEP?

You can store your brownies for up to one week on the counter in a tightly sealed container.    Make sure that they are always covered. 

If you donโ€™t want to eat these all at once they freeze well.  Just wrap them tightly and place into the freezer for up to two months.
