Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Sifted
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Dark cocoa preferred
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Toppings
  • 2 cups rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips (or sprinkles, divided)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips for glaze

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your brownie pan with parchment paper, greasing if needed.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and slightly lighter.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
Combine Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of the rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the surface is set but the center remains soft.
  2. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
Glazing
  1. Melt the chocolate chips until smooth.
  2. Pour and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled brownies.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining candy-coated chocolate chips on top while the glaze is still wet.
  4. Allow the glaze to set at room temperature or chill briefly to firm up.
Serving
  1. Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

For the best results, avoid overmixing and allow brownies to cool completely before glazing to prevent a messy sink-in.
