Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Start your brownie process by mixing the sugars into the melted butter, cup-by-cup. Once the butter and sugar are mixed into one, add the eggs one at a time.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, and salt. Use a fork to combine them all together, then mix into the wet ingredients ever so gradually.
Dig to the bottom of the bowl to ensure that there’s no dry flour lurking. If you’re in the clear, continue with adding the chocolate chips. Use a spatula to fold in the chips until evenly dispersed.
Line a 9×13 inch cake pan with parchment paper. Don’t worry if it doesn’t fit perfectly, or if you have to fold the corners in to make it work. Scoop the batter into the pan, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the pan when the time’s up, and if it comes out batter free, you’re good to go. Set the pan aside and allow the brownies to cool.
Once your brownies are cooled, make the frosting. Frosting prematurely will result in the frosting melting into the brownies, which sounds awesome, but is not nearly as awesome as the crown of thick frosting you’ll get in return for your patience.
Cream together the butter and cream cheese until…well, creamy. Add the vanilla, and then gradually add the powdered sugar. Spread the frosting onto the cooled brownies. Decorate with pink sprinkles and white chocolate chips.
