Can I use a different type of chocolate in these Valentine’s Day Brownies?

Yes! If you prefer a different chocolate, feel free to swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips. Each variation will give the brownies a unique flavor profile, so choose what best suits your taste.

How can I store leftover Valentine’s Day Brownies?

Store your leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to thaw them at room temperature before enjoying.

Can I make these brownies ahead of time?

Absolutely! These brownies can be made a day or two ahead of time. Just bake, let them cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container. This can actually enhance their flavor as they have more time to set, making them even fudgier.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the M&M’s over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away and the center looks set. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

Don’t overcook the brownies! The center should look slightly undercooked before you take them out of the oven, as they’ll firm up as they cool.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing to ensure cleaner cuts and better texture.
If you prefer a different chocolate flavor, feel free to swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, or freeze them for up to three months.
