Ingredients

For the Brownies:

3/4 cup butter unsalted, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs room temp
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
pinch of salt
3 Tablespoons milk

For the Frosting:

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 small bags of Rainbow Chips

Instructions

Brownie Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x13" baking dish with parchment paper. Mist with baking spray and set aside.
Beat melted butter, sugars, and vanilla in a large bowl using an electric mixer or stand mixer.
Add eggs, one at a time, continuing to mix until well incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to your batter, mixing on low speed. Alternate adding flour and milk, until everything is combined. Your batter should be fairly thick.
Scoop batter into your baking pan and spread with a spatula as evenly as possible.
Bake at 350°F for 18-25 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan.

Frosting Directions:

Heat heavy whipping cream in a saucepan heating until simmering. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Allow them to sit in the hot cream for a couple minutes, then whisk until melted and smooth.
Pour ganache over the top of the brownies and smooth with a spatula.
Sprinkle rainbow chips over the top of the brownies, while frosting is still wet.
Allow to set, then slice and enjoy!

Notes

Note: Nutrition information is a rough estimate only; actual values will vary based on the exact ingredients used and amount of recipe prepared.

Prep Tips:

Pan Size - We've baked these in both a 9x13 inch rectangle pan and a 9x9 inch square pan. The rectangle pan makes thinner brownies, much like the store-bought kind. Using a square pan will make thicker brownies, but may require a couple extra minutes of baking time. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
