I followed the recipe but my brownies ended up really dry. Maybe my oven is too hot? I don’t know but I was disappointed. 🙁
Maybe you put in too much flour? It can happen! Just follow the measurements precisely. And yeah, ovens can be tricky sometimes! Good luck next time!
I think your oven might be the issue, but you could also try reducing the baking time a bit. Brownies should be fudgy, not dry! Don’t lose hope; you can nail it next time! 😊
These brownies are the best! Super fudgy and that chocolatey goodness is to die for. My whole family loved them, especially the kids with the M&Ms!
I think these brownies would be good with nuts too. Just saying! Don’t hate me, but the M&Ms seem unnecessary. Just stick with plain chocolate!
I tried these and they were a bit too sweet for me. The M&Ms are just too much. 3 stars.
These taste amazing but I accidentally put an extra egg in. I think it made them more fudgy. Still good.
Not impressed. My brownies came out too gooey, I don’t know what I did wrong. 2 stars.
I’m sorry to hear that! Sometimes the oven temperature can be off, or maybe they needed a bit longer to bake. Don’t give up! Try again.
Gooey? Sounds delicious to me! Maybe it’s just how brownies should be. I would totally eat those!
Love them! Tried it with walnuts too! Delicious! 🎉
Brownies for Christmas? Genius! Can’t wait to bake them again next year. Loved the colors!
Ingredients are fine but I don’t like cocoa. They were okay but I won’t make again.
Not everyone likes chocolate, that’s fine! Anyway, brownies need cocoa, it’s like a rule, lol.
You could try using a different flavor like vanilla or almond extract instead of cocoa. Maybe that would work better for you!
These brownies are so festive! We made them for our Christmas party and they disappeared in minutes. Yummy!
Can you use different candies? I don’t have Christmas M&Ms. 🙁
Yeah, you can use any kind of candies you like! Just make sure they’re not too hard. I’d suggest chocolate chips or nuts maybe.
Yummy! These look so good! Are you sure about the temps? Mine always burn at that temp.
Omg, made these for my kids. They went crazy for them! Best brownies ever!
