I love how easily these come together. Just pick your favorite brownie mix & bake. While they are cooling you can make your peanut butter whip. Then just spread it on & top with colorful M&M’s of your choice.

I used plain regular M&M’s this time. But you can also use peanut or another variety or even mix it up with the colors for a holiday.

Heaven – I’m telling you! Absolute heaven!

I also like to nibble while we play – so since I bought the BIG bag ofM&M’s® I had some bowls of them around for munching.

You will make these again & again!

How to make Peanut Butter Whip Brownies

Brownie Layer

1. Prepare the brownies to the package directions – bake & cool.

Peanut Butter Whip Layer

1. While brownies are cooling – make the topping by beating the softened cream cheese in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy.
2. Add the peanut butter and beat until combined.
3. Slowly add in the confectioner’s sugar and beat.
4. Once incorporated – fold in the whipped topping and then beat for about 30 seconds. Take care to not overdo it so it doesn’t completely deflate.
5. Spread the mixture onto the cooled brownies in an even layer.
6. Sprinkle on the M&M’s®, cut, and serve.

How many bars does this make?

That will depend on how you cut the bars and which size pan you choose to make the brownies. This recipe usually makes 9 large brownies bars for me when making them in a 9×9 square pan. But I can get up to 16 when making them in a 9×13 pan.

It also depends on how small or large you want them. When making them in the 9×9 pan – I like to make 2 cuts lengthwise making 3 rows. Then I make 3 cuts going the other direction to make the 12 bars or 2 cuts to make 9. But you can cut them however you like.

Why do the ingredients need to be at room temperature?

Room temperature ingredients help to ensure that everything blends together perfectly. You don’t want any pockets of unblended butter, cream cheese, or anything else. You want everything evenly disbursed for the perfect texture.

Can these be made with homemade brownies?

You bet! If you prefer to make your own brownies instead of using a box mix – that would be great too. I have a One-Bowl Brownie recipe that you could try or a super easy 4-Ingredient Nutella Brownie recipe that is delicious too.

Can these brownies be made ahead of time?

You bet. The brownies and the whip can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days prior to serving. Make sure to cover tightly with plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out.

I recommend keeping the brownies and the whip separate until you are ready to serve. Just stir the whip and then spread it on.

I also recommend waiting to add the M&M’s until you serve these as the cold air in the refrigerator will make the colors bleed and they won’t be very appetizing at that point.
