Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups

October 10, 2015 By Betsy Cohen

Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups are ridiculously easy to make and the taste is outrageous. The recipe is made in one bowl so clean up is a breeze. Yummy!

Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups


I made Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups weeks ago. I posted pictures on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to tease everyone and was thrilled with the feedback from those who tried them.

Fast forward and I saw my friend Barb’s mother Joan at Samuel’s school this past Friday. Joan and her foodie friends get together for decadent dinner parties.  One is coming up soon and Joan said she had a few Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups in her freezer but wanted to make more.

I told her that the recipe was on the blog but was shocked when Joan said she did not think this was the case. There was a good reason why: I searched and searched and searched and only to realize that I had done so many social shares teasing this recipe that I, actually, thought I had posted it!

Talk about an O-M-G moment! I don’t know what I was thinking but I am very thankful that I ran into Joan. This recipe is ridiculously easy to make and the taste is outrageous. The only thing left to do is SHARE it with you so you in turn can then share Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups with others.

Recipe Type: Brownies
Cuisine: Dessert
Author: Betsy Cohen
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 18 mins
Total time: 38 mins
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (6.75 ounces) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (3.80 ounces) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (.25 ounces) vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cups (6.20 ounces) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (.10 ounces) salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1¼ cups (7.30 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (7.20 ounces) peanut M&M's plus 54 peanut M&M's for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Set aside a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. Place the butter, brown sugar and sugar into a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave until the mixture is completely melted and bubbly. Be sure to use oven mitts when removing from the microwave as the bowl will be very hot.
  3. Whisk to blend the ingredients together. Whisk in vanilla, then the flour and salt.
  4. Continuously whisk the mixture while adding the eggs, to prevent cooking the eggs.
  5. Lastly, use a wooden spoon to mix in the chocolate chips. Most will melt, but you may have some that still hold their shape. Stir in 1 cup peanut M&M's.
  6. Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Use a large cookie dough scoop or a gravy ladle to evenly transfer the batter to the muffin cups.
  7. Bake at 350°, on a rack in the middle of the oven, for 18 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately place three peanut M&M's onto each brownie cup, gently pushing them partway into the tops.
  9. Cool completely in the pan. Use a small metal spatula to go around the edges of the Gooey Peanut M&M Brownie Cups. Remove from the pan and serve.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
