Ingredients
Directions
- Set your oven to 325°F and grease 16 mini muffin cups; set them aside.
- In a bowl, beat sugar and eggs with an electric mixer. Fold in melted butter until well combined, then stir in vanilla. Mix cocoa powder, flour, and salt together; fold into the egg mixture. Gently stir in half of the Caramel M&M's.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, melt green candy melts with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil for 4 to 6 minutes, until smooth. Repeat the process with orange candy melts and another 2 teaspoons of coconut oil.
- Spoon the melted candies randomly over each brownie, then swirl with a skewer or the tip of a paring knife. Sprinkle the remaining M&M's on top. Refrigerate until the topping is set.
