Instructions
Make the Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides (this will help you lift the brownies out later).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until incorporated.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boiling. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Assemble:
- Once the brownies are cooled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, spreading it out into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the candy-coated chocolate pieces over the top of the ganache while it's still wet.
- Place the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the ganache to set.
- Using the parchment paper overhangs, lift the brownies out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares using a sharp knife.

Notes
- Pan Size Matters: Stick to an 8x8-inch pan for the perfect thickness and even baking.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with the candy toppings – mix and match your favorites.
- Store Properly: Keep the brownies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They're great at room temperature or chilled.
- Slicing Tip: For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and clean it between slices, especially through the ganache layer.
- Freeze for Later: These brownies freeze well. Just wrap them tightly and they'll be ready for a quick treat anytime.
