Party Brownies

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

1 box brownie mix (usually 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

Directions

Make the brownies

Bake the brownies according to package directions in a 9×13 pan or slightly smaller rectangular pan (see note 1). I usually try to let them cool for an hour before frosting them.

Make the frosting

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt; bring to a consistent boil over medium heat and cook for 45 seconds (it should be at a rolling boil for the full 45 seconds). Set a timer so you don’t overcook it!

Mix in the chocolate

Turn off the heat and add chocolate chips and stir to combine (if there are stubborn lumps, just whisk it for a minute).

Frost the brownies

Working quickly, pour the frosting over the brownies and spread evenly and add sprinkles. The frosting will start to set immediately, so don’t be a slow poke with this part (see note 2)!

Rest and serve

Let the frosting rest for 15-30 minutes, depending on how clean you want your slices to be! Cut, serve, PARTY TIME!
