A rich, fudgy brownie recipe inspired by nostalgic Cosmic Brownies, featuring a chewy texture and colorful candy-coated chocolate pieces for a playful crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup mini candy-coated chocolate pieces (like M&M’s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Let it cool slightly but not solidify.
  3. Whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl until fully combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thick.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined to avoid toughness.
  7. Fold in half of the mini candy-coated chocolate pieces into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining candy pieces evenly on top.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The edges should look set but the center slightly soft.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing.

Notes

Use melted butter for a denser, moister crumb. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep brownies tender. Room temperature eggs blend better. For less melting of candy pieces, add half at the start and half halfway through baking. Variations include gluten-free flour, nut additions, vegan substitutions, and seasonal candy swaps.
