Ingredients

  • For the brownies:
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • salt, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • For the ganache:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • sprinkles, optional, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3 -In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the melted butter, the sugar, the brown sugar, and the vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4 -Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture and mix until they are combined.

Step 5 -In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, the cocoa powder, the baking powder, the cornstarch, and the salt together.

Step 6 -With the mixer speed on low, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, and mix until just combined.

Step 7 -Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and use a rubber spatula to evenly spread it out.

Step 8 -Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18-25 minutes.

Step 9 -Allow the brownies to cool in the dish.

Step 10 -While the brownies cool, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, the milk chocolate chips, and the heavy cream.

Step 11 -Microwave the chocolate mixture for 1 minute and then stir. Repeat until all the chocolate chips melt and become smooth.

Step 12 -Beat the ganache for 1 minute.

Step 13 -Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and use a rubber spatula to evenly spread it.

Step 14 -Top the ganache with the sprinkles.

Step 15 -Slice and serve.
