Cosmic Brownies Recipe
This Cosmic Brownies recipe recreates the rich, fudgy texture and glossy chocolate topping that made the original so iconic. The brownies bake up dense and chocolate-forward, while the smooth ganache layer sets just right for slicing. Finished with colorful candy sprinkles, they’re perfect for bake sales, lunchbox treats, or anytime you want that familiar nostalgic bite with a homemade touch.
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Light Corn Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- 6 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1/3 cup Rainbow Candy-Coated Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang so you can lift them out.
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl until everything looks evenly mixed.
- Stir vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter together in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Add eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla, then mix until the batter turns glossy and thick.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet just until you don’t see any flour streaks.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan using a spatula.
- Bake about 25 minutes. The center should show moist crumbs if you poke it with a toothpick.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan before you add the topping.
- Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts to steam.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate chips, wait a minute, then stir until smooth and shiny.
- Spread ganache over the cooled brownies in an even layer.
- Sprinkle rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips on top, then refrigerate until set.
