Ingredients

  

Brownies:

• ¾ cup butter 1 1/2 sticks, melted
• 1 cup sugar
• ⅔ cup light brown sugar
• 2 eggs room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¾ cup of flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon baking powder

Ganache:

• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup Rainbow Chip Sprinkles

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350º. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with non-stick foil.
• In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter using 30-second increments
• Add the sugars and mix to combine. Then add the eggs, vanilla, and stir till well mixed.
• Add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
• Add the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder and stir until it's blended,
• Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with an offset spatula.
• Bake for 28-32 minutes until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Cool on a wire rack.
• While brownies have cooled for at least a half-hour, make the ganache.
• Add chocolate chips and cream to a medium, microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high for one minute. Set aside.
• Let stand a few minutes before whisking to combine. If there are any small lumps, you may microwave for 15 seconds and whisk until smooth. Repeat if needed.
• Pour the ganache over the brownies and smooth with an offset spatula.
• Sprinkle with sprinkles and chill for at least 2 hours before cutting.
