The basic brownie recipe is something I have done multiple times over the last few months and have made it multiple different ways and always end up with gorgeous brownies every time.
Not only are these brownies great they are also gluten free but you cant tell at all. Whenever I need a chocolate fix these brownies are the ones.
Now Ill admit when I have made brownies in the past I haven’t used dark chocolate because I am not that big of a fan of dark chocolate.
However, the dark chocolate just adds a richness to the brownies. I also add semi sweet chocolate chips to my brownies.
I added a cup full of m&m’s to the batter as well as adding a couple handfuls to the top of the brownies.
I used chocolate m&m’s but you could use other types of m&m’s or do a mixture of m&m’s.
