Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (usually 16–18 ounces)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup milk
Chocolate Frosting
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping
- Make the brownies: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, combining necessary ingredients as directed.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch or slightly smaller rectangular pan and bake following the package directions. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool for about an hour before adding the frosting.
- Make the frosting: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and coarse kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a consistent rolling boil and maintain the boil for 45 seconds; use a timer to prevent overcooking.
- Mix in the chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and stir until completely combined and smooth. Whisk for a minute if there are any chocolate lumps.
- Frost the brownies: Quickly pour the warm chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Spread promptly as the frosting begins to set immediately. Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the frosting.
- Rest and serve: Let the frosted brownies rest for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set properly, which will help achieve clean slicing. Cut into pieces and serve for a fun party treat!
Notes
- Use a 9×13 inch pan or slightly smaller rectangular pan to ensure proper baking.
- Pour and spread the frosting quickly as it sets fast once off heat.
- Allow frosting to rest for at least 15 minutes for cleaner slices.
