Easy Cosmic Brownies
Let me introduce you to these Cosmic Brownies, a recipe that’s close to my heart and sure to win yours. They’re a chocolate lover’s dream, perfectly moist and rich, layered with a velvety chocolate ganache that’s just divine. Each bite, sprinkled with colorful candy pieces, is a nostalgic nod to childhood but with a gourmet twist that’ll have everyone, from the little ones to the grown-ups, reaching for more. Trust me, these brownies are a tiny piece of chocolate paradise. Start by getting your oven warmed up to 350°F (175°C). Grab an 8×8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Leave a bit of an overhang on the sides – this is a neat trick to lift the brownies out easily later on. Now, let’s mix! In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until it’s nice and smooth. Next, crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, mixing until everything’s well incorporated. Sifting time! Gently sift the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the same bowl with the wet ingredients. Fold these in, but remember to just mix until they’re combined. Pour your batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Pop it into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. Let them cool off in the pan. While the brownies are cooling, make your ganache. Heat the heavy cream until it’s just steaming. Then, pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute. Stir until it’s smooth and glossy. Once your brownies have cooled, it’s time for the grand finale. Pour that beautiful ganache over the top, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle on the candy-coated chocolate pieces, adding that cosmic sparkle. Last step – chill the brownies in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. This helps the ganache set perfectly. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy your cosmic creation!
