Equipment

8x8 inch baking pan
Mixing bowls
whisk
spatula
saucepan

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for batter)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for ganache)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp rainbow chip sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter and whisk with sugar until well combined.
Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips, then spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool brownies completely in the pan before adding topping.
Heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips and let sit.
Whisk until smooth, then spread evenly over cooled brownies.
Sprinkle rainbow chips on top before ganache sets.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy texture. Allow brownies to cool completely before adding ganache. Refrigerate briefly for clean slices. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
