Iced Brownies

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Chill Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Melted Butter (slightly cooled)
  • 1 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs (room temp)
  • 1 Egg Yolk (room temp)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Chocolate Ganache Icing

  • 8 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 tbsp Light Corn Syrup (this makes the icing shiny!)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 350°F
  • Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, (leave enough to come above brownies/pan for easy removal)
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugars until combined. Whisk in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
  • In separate bowl, mix cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Incorporate this dry mixture into wet mixture until just combined.
  • Pour batter into pan and even batter out across pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (A few moist crumbs are allowed!) Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

To Make Icing

  • Add the Corn Syrup to the Chocolate Chips
  • Microwave Heavy Whipping Cream for about 1 minute
  • Pour over Chocolate Chips and stir and fold until mixture is smooth and entirely combined. (If your mixture is still clumpy, microwave for a few seconds and stir again.
  • Spread icing out over evenly across brownies. Sprinkled desired candies on top and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until ganache is cooled and set.
  • Cut, serve, and enjoy!
