Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup rainbow chip sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder.
Beat the eggs until light in color. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat again. Stir in 1/4 cup of the hot butter mixture quickly. Add the rest of the butter mixture and beat again.
Stir together the salt, flour, and baking powder. Slowly add to the butter and egg mixture until completely incorporated. Spread in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Let cool completely.
Bring the heavy whipping cream to a boil and remove from the heat immediately. Stir in the chocolate chips until melted and creamy. Spread over the top of the cooled brownies. Top with the rainbow chips and let set. Cut into 24 squares.
