Ingredients

10 Tablespoons Hiland Dairy butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk

1 Tablespoon corn syrup

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

Frosting

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup Hiland Dairy heavy cream

Rainbow Chips, Sprinkles, M&Ms, Nuts, any candy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment or foil. Leave some overhang over the sides, this helps so the brownies are easy to pull out of the pan. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the Hiland butter for about 60-90 seconds. Pour into the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cocoa powder and mix until combined.
  3. Add in the vanilla, corn syrup, eggs and egg yolk and mix again until well combined. Add flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix again until just combined. Batter will be very thick.
  4. Pour batter into your prepared baking pan, use a spoon or spatula to spread out evenly. Bake for 23-25 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before frosting.
  5. Frosting: Pour the Hiland heavy cream into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Pour in the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring.
  6. Stir until smooth, then pour over the brownies and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with rainbow chips. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until frosting is set.
  7. Cut brownies and enjoy! (Feel free to peel the top layer off and eat it, I won’t tell)
