Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup caramel-toffee bits
- ¼ cup Rainbow sprinkles
For Chocolate Glaze
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup optional, for shine
Optional Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter chips
- dollop whipped cream or whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl melt the butter.
- With a wooden spoon combine the melted butter and sugar. Mix well until smooth and sugar is fully incorporated. Add in the beaten eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, but don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in the caramel-toffee bits into the batter until evenly distributed. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with an offset spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Allow brownies to cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together until smooth. Stir in the corn syrup until well combined.
- Once the brownies are baked and cooled, spread the chocolate glaze over the top of the brownies, spreading it out evenly with an offset spatula.
- While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles generously over the top!
- Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving the brownies. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Size of the Pan. Use an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish. The right size pan is crucial because if the pan is too big the brownies will be dry, and if it's too small, they'll be undercooked.
- Use Parchment Paper. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes removal and cleanup so much easier.
- Avoid Over-Mixing. This leads to tough, dense brownies.
- Don't Over-Bake. Insert a toothpick into the center that should come out basically clean with a few moist crumbs attached. Over-baking will cause dry brownies.
