M & M Brownies



I've always had a thing for milk chocolate M&M's.They are original and classic. Many varieties are in stores now, but the milk chocolate one's are still my favorite. What better way to enjoy M&M's than to pair them with a simple chocolate brownie. It doesn't get any better than that.

This M&M brownie is full of M&M's inside and out. The chocolate flavor of the brownie is not too overpowering, since the M&M's are the star of this show.

2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder
