  2. Whisk in the eggs one at a time into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  3. Sift in the cocoa powder and sprinkle the salt over the mix. Add the vanilla extract and stir gently until no dry ingredients remain.
  4. Carefully fold in the all-purpose flour until just a few streaks remain, avoiding over-mixing.
  5. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and pour the batter in, spreading it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the M&M’s over the brownie batter evenly.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
