Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup caramel-toffee bits
Topping
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup (optional, for shine)
- ½ cup peanut butter chips
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
- Dollop whipped cream or whipped topping (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt ¾ cup unsalted butter until fully liquefied.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Using a wooden spoon, mix the melted butter and sugar thoroughly until smooth and sugar is incorporated. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract, then beat until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Toffee Bits and Pour Batter: Gently fold the caramel-toffee bits into the batter until evenly distributed. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly using an offset spatula.
- Bake Brownies: Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and 2 tablespoons butter together until smooth and fully combined. Stir in corn syrup for added shine.
- Glaze the Brownies: Spread the chocolate glaze evenly over the cooled brownies using an offset spatula.
- Add Sprinkles: While the glaze is still wet, generously sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles over the top for a colorful finish.
- Set and Serve: Allow the glaze to set before slicing. Serve brownies with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use parchment paper to easily lift brownies out of the pan without cracking.
- Do not overbake; brownies should remain moist inside.
- For a nut-free version, omit the peanut butter chips or substitute with additional chocolate chips.
- Corn syrup is optional but helps give the glaze a glossy shine.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
