Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Brownies

  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup candy coated chocolate chips, rainbow

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with baking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cocoa and Butter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Sugars and Eggs: Whisk in the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the cocoa mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, and salt to ensure an even texture.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined without overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before adding the ganache.
  8. Prepare Chocolate Ganache: Place semisweet and milk chocolate chips with heavy cream into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
  9. Stir Ganache: Allow the mixture to sit for 2 minutes, then stir it carefully until it becomes smooth and glossy.
  10. Frost and Decorate: Spread the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies and immediately sprinkle the candy-coated chocolate chips on top while the ganache is still wet to set beautifully.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overbake the brownies to maintain their fudgy texture.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent ganache from melting.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for best flavor.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate the brownies after frosting for about 30 minutes.
  • You can substitute candy-coated chocolate chips with other sprinkles or chopped nuts if desired.
