Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup M&M's candies Valentine's themed
• Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

Set aside an 8x8-inch baking pan that has been greased

Mix the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour together in a small bowl using a whisk

In a different, bigger bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted butter together until they are well mixed

One at a time, add the eggs and mix well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips and mix them in until they are spread out evenly in the batter

When the baking pan is ready, pour the batter in and spread it out evenly

In a hot oven, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean or with a few wet crumbs on it

Take it out of the oven and put a wire rack in the pan so it can cool all the way down

Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want after it has cooled

Serve it cut up into squares

Enjoy your brownies for Valentine's Day!
