Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 10 tablespoons butter melted
  • cup sugar
  • 3/4 + 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour

For the Topping:

  • 4 oz about 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Sprinkles OR candy coated chocolate chips for the top

Instructions

Brownies:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Mist an 8 inch baking pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
  • Stir the vanilla and eggs into the chocolate mixture.
  • Fold in the flour until combined with the remaining ingredients. It's ok if it looks slightly grainy.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center of the brownies comes out clean.

Topping:

  • Place the chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat the cream in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until hot but not boiling.
  • Pour over the chocolate chips. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  • Stir the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  • Pour over the top of the brownies and spread with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  • Sprinkle the candy coated chocolate chips on top of the ganache.
  • Cool before cutting, or enjoy an extra messy brownie right from the oven!

Notes

For a rich topping use semi sweet chocolate chips. For a toned down topping swap half of the chips with milk chocolate.
