I love how beginner-friendly this brownie pizza is. It comes together in one bowl, doesn’t require any fancy decorating skills, and always impresses with its playful look and irresistible flavor. The M&M’s give it that colorful crunch, while the white chocolate melts into the soft, buttery base. It’s a great way to switch up traditional brownies into something a little more festive.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted 2 cups granulated sugar 4 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1½ cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup white chocolate chips 1 cup M&M’s, plus extra for topping
Directions
I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-inch round pizza pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, I whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and glossy.
I add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, I whisk the flour and salt together, then gradually stir the dry mix into the wet until just combined.
I fold in the white chocolate chips and 1 cup of M&M’s.
I spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
I bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
I let the brownie pizza cool completely in the pan, then sprinkle extra M&M’s on top.
I slice it into wedges just like a pizza and serve.
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes one 12-inch brownie pizza, which serves about 16 people. It takes 15 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to bake, so it’s ready to enjoy in about 45 minutes total.
Variations
I like to swap the M&M’s for seasonal candies—pastel for spring, red and green for the holidays, or mini chocolate eggs for Easter. I’ve also tried mixing in peanut butter chips, chopped nuts, or crushed cookies for more texture and fun flavor combinations. You can even drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the top after baking for a fancy finish.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, I freeze individual wedges wrapped in plastic for up to 2 months. To enjoy again, I let them thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the microwave for that soft, just-baked feel.
FAQs
Can I use a square pan instead of a pizza pan?
Yes, I’ve used a 9×13-inch pan instead of a round pizza pan. I just keep an eye on the bake time—it may need an extra 5 minutes or so.
What type of M&M’s work best?
I prefer using regular or mini M&M’s. Minis are especially great for topping because they make slicing easier and give a better chocolate-to-bite ratio.
How do I know when the brownie pizza is done?
I bake until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. I don’t wait until the toothpick is totally clean, or the brownie might overbake.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, I’ve had success swapping the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. Just make sure to check that all your ingredients, like the candies, are also gluten-free.
Do I need to refrigerate leftovers?
No, I keep the brownie pizza at room temperature in a sealed container. It stays soft and fresh for several days this way.
