Ingredients
Instructions
- Follow the directions on the brownie mix and bake in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or a well-greased pizza pan.
- Do not overbake the brownies.
- Immediately after baking, evenly sprinkle marshmallows on top of the hot brownies.
- Sprinkle candy pieces (M&Ms) and peanuts over the marshmallows.
- Drizzle caramel ice cream topping over the top.
- Allow to cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the brownie mix. If you want to substitute ingredients, try using chopped nuts instead of peanuts or mini chocolate chips in place of M&Ms. Keep an eye on the baking time, as overbaking can lead to dry brownies, which is a common issue with many brownie recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These M&M Brownies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They pair beautifully with Sunday Morning Cinnamon Rolls for a sweet brunch treat or can be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, keep the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. If you prefer them warm, reheat individual squares in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a mix?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade brownies, use your favorite brownie recipe. Just ensure the batter is similar in consistency to what a boxed mix would yield for the best results in flavor and texture.
What can I substitute for marshmallows?
If you want to skip the marshmallows, you can use whipped cream or a layer of chocolate ganache for a different texture and flavor. Alternatively, try using crushed graham crackers for a crunchy topping.
How can I make these brownies more chocolatey?
For extra chocolate flavor, mix in some chocolate chips into the brownie batter before baking. You can also sprinkle additional M&Ms or chocolate chunks on top after adding the caramel for a decadent finish.
