M&M Brookies is an M&M filled blondie on top of a fudgy, rich brownie! This is a slice recipe you definitely want to get your hands on.
I have made brookies in the past. In fact I’ve made them a few times.
I’ve also made a blondie/brownie ‘brondie’ recipe which these M&M Brookies are based on.
‘Brookies’ are a combination of a fudgy chocolate brownie and usually a chocolate chip cookie. They are baked together in either layers or swirled together in the pan.
As you can see from the photos, I decided to layer mine as both the brownie mixture and the blondie mixture – yes I made blondies over cookies as I wanted these bars fudgy – are both runnier than your average cookie dough.
How to make M&M Brookies
The recipe for these are really very easy. You only need to take my classic fudgy brownie recipe and my blondie recipe and marry the two together essentially. There are a few tweaks of course.
The first is halving the brownie recipe. These brookies are baked in a 9″x9″ square baking pan so we don’t halve the brownie mixture, they will spill out all through the oven.
Not pretty
The second is of course adding M&Ms to the mixtures. I also added chocolate chips to the blondie mixture for some more chocolate. This is of course optional.

Is the dark chocolate in the recipe a candy bar crumpled or what? Thank you
Emma Burton
The 190g of dark chocolate is cooking chocolate, chocolate button’s or any chocolate you choose to melt for the brownie
