Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup nuts (optional, divided)
- ¼ cup mini holiday M&Ms (divided)
- ¾ cup regular Holiday M&Ms (divided)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk (from a 14 ounce can)
- ¼ cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place butter and chocolate chips in a large, microwaveable mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Beat in sugar, then vanilla and eggs, until well combined.
- Stir in flour until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven (brownies will jiggle a little but be done on top). Layer as follows: nuts, half of the chocolate chips, half of the M&Ms, and finally all of the shredded coconut. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top and spread gently to make sure it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle on remaining chocolate chips, M&Ms, and finally the sprinkles.
- Bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the middle is set and just starting to brown. If the top is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares with a sharp knife.
- Store in a tightly sealed container for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies cool completely for easier cutting.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into squares.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
