Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt butter in a medium bowl. Whisk in cocoa powder until smooth, ~1 minute.
Step 3
Stir sugar into cocoa mixture. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each.
Step 4
Fold in flour with a few gentle strokes until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 5
Stir in three-quarters of the candy pieces, reserving the rest for topping.
Step 6
Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center has a few fudgy crumbs, 20–23 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from oven. Scatter reserved candy pieces over the warm surface.
Step 9
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then lift onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Whisk powdered sugar with 2–3 tbsp water until pourable. Drizzle over cooled brownies.
