Serves: 6

​Prep time: 15 Minutes

Bake time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix

• 1/2 cup melted butter, cooled

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 tablespoon milk, room temperature

• 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:

• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 1/4 cup heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon butter

• Pinch of salt

• 1/3 cup rainbow candy-coated chocolate pieces

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.

   
   

2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and melted butter.

   
   

3. In a separate bowl, add in the chocolate cake mix. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and whisk together until smooth and thick.

   
   

4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.

   
   

5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   
   

6. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for 20 minutes.

   Optional: After cooling, remove from the pan and trim the edges for cleaner looking squares.

   
   

7. Place the baked brownies in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes before adding the toppings.

   
   

8. In a microwave safe bowl, add in the chocolate chips, butter, and heavy cream. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely smooth and melted.

   
   

9. Quickly pour the warm ganache topping over the chilled brownies and spread evenly.

   
   

10. Sprinkle the candy toppings all over the top.

    
    

11. Let the brownies set for 30 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy!
