Cosmic Brownies
Report
These Cosmic Brownies are cocoa brownies topped off with a rich chocolate fudge topping and rainbow sprinkles. A copycat of the Little Debbie classic that tastes even better than the original version!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9" x 9" square pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both sides. Coat the pan with cooking spray.
- Place the butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until melted.
- Add the sugar to the melted butter and whisk to combine.
- Place the sugar and butter mixture in the bowl of a mixer. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl; then beat for another 2-3 minutes until mixture is pale yellow and thick.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix on low speed until ingredients are just incorporated. Stir in the milk and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread it into an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached to it.
- Let the brownies cool.
- Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments until cream is very hot but not boiling.
- Add the chopped chocolates to the cream. Let sit for a minute, then stir until a smooth chocolate mixture forms. Stir in the butter until melted.
- Pour the chocolate over the top of the brownies. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer. Add the sprinkles on top of the chocolate.
- Chill the brownies until set, about 1-2 hours. Use the parchment to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- The candy coated chocolate pieces can be purchased online, at grocery stores, or at craft stores. I used Wilton’s Rainbow Chip Crunch which I purchased in the cake decorating aisle of my local craft store.
- It’s best to use chopped bars of chocolate instead of chocolate chips for the fudge topping. Chocolate chips often contain stabilizers and will not melt as smoothly as chopped chocolate. I used Ghirardelli brand chocolate bars which I found in the baking area near the chocolate chips.
