The Secret's in the Frosting

The star of this recipe is the old-fashioned chocolate fudge frosting. It's the kind that gets a slightly crackly top, giving way to a smooth, decadent interior. This isn't your average frosting, and it's what takes these brownies from good to absolutely amazing.

Let's Get Baking:

What You'll Need:

  • 1 box brownie mix (approx 16-18 ounces)
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions:

  1. Bake the Brownies: Prepare your brownie mix as directed on the package in a 9x13 inch pan. Allow them to cool for at least an hour before frosting.
  2. Make the Fudge Frosting: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring continuously, for 45 seconds using a timer to be precise. Remove from the heat.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Add the chocolate chips to the hot frosting and stir until smooth.
  4. Frost the Brownies: Immediately pour the frosting over the cooled brownies, spreading it evenly. This has to be done quickly before the frosting sets.
  5. Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles generously over the frosting before it hardens.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the frosting set for 15-30 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips for Success:

  • Don't Skimp on the Boil: Make sure you have a rolling boil that lasts for the full 45 seconds. This is key to a perfect frosting.
  • Work Quickly: Once you add the chocolate chips to the hot frosting, work fast! The frosting sets up quickly, so spread it and add sprinkles right away.
  • Sprinkle Placement: If your frosting starts to set before you get to the sprinkles, gently tap the sprinkles into the frosting with the back of a spoon to ensure they adhere.
