Cosmic Brownies

I’ve been seeing this new trend for cosmic brownies online, and I’m usually not one to follow a trend but once the kids saw them, they were driving me nuts to make them something like this. Now after a couple of experimental batches, I have come up with an amazing recipe for cosmic brownies. A fudge brownie, topped with chocolate ganache and these cool sprinkles on top of that. Don’t these look so cool?

9. Once the ganache is set, cut the brownies into squares.
