Ingredients

Brownies:

  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • cup (67g) packed brown sugar
  • cup (54g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour

Topping:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stir together melted butter, oil, and both sugars.
  • Stir in cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla and salt, then gently stir in flour.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean 2-inches from the edge of the pan. Cool completely before frosting.
  • Add chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream to a microwave safe bowl. Heat 1 minute on high power, then stir until smooth (heating time is dependent on your microwave; may need more or less time).
  • Pour chocolate over the brownies and spread to smooth evenly. Sprinkle with candy coated chips. Chill to set frosting.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container on the counter or freeze.
  • Frosting will be fudgy but solid when cold; will get softer when room temperature.
