Ingredients
For the Brownies
- ½ cup unsalted butter Melted and cooled slightly
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs (room temperature) For better emulsification
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Ganache
- ¼ cup heavy cream Heated
- 4 oz semisweet chocolate (chopped) For making the ganache
- Pinch of salt
- 2-3 tbsp rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips Wilton rainbow chips or similar
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and cornstarch until just combined. The batter should be thick and glossy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Baking
- Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Making Ganache
- While the brownies bake, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chopped semisweet chocolate, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
Finishing
- Once the brownies are out of the oven, pour the ganache evenly over the top while it is still warm.
- Sprinkle the rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips on top and let the brownies cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour until the ganache is set.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for a more luxurious taste. Do not overbake the brownies. Chill longer if too soft.
