Perfect for celebrating the season with a decadent chocolate fix and colorful crunch, these brownies combine classic ingredients with merry additions to elevate your holiday baking.

  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 to 16 brownies

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Holiday Mix-ins

  • 1 cup holiday mix-ins (a mix of red & green M&Ms, crushed candy canes, Christmas sprinkles, and white chocolate chunks)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt butter and mix dry ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and kosher salt until smooth and combined.
  3. Add flavorings and eggs: Stir in the pure vanilla extract. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to create a smooth batter.
  4. Incorporate flour and chocolate chips: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, careful not to overmix. Gently stir in the chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
  5. Add holiday mix-ins: Fold in the festive holiday mix-ins, including the red and green M&Ms, crushed candy canes, Christmas sprinkles, and white chocolate chunks, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
  6. Pour batter and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved holiday mix-ins over the top for an extra festive look. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy your festive Christmas brownies with friends and family!

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, avoid overbaking and pull them out of the oven when a toothpick shows moist crumbs.
  • You can customize the holiday mix-ins according to your preferences or dietary needs.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
  • Use parchment paper lining for easy removal and cleaner slicing.
