CHOCOLATE GANACHE
In a bowl add the chocolate chips, set aside.
In another microwave safe bowl add the heavy cream and heat till just before boiling, (about 45 seconds).
Pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for a minute. Mix chocolate and cream together. If there are still chunks of chocolate in the microwave for a few seconds and stir again. The ganache should be completely smooth.
Pour the ganache over top of the brownies and spread evenly. Sprinkle on the mini candy covered chocolate chips.
Place the brownies in the fridge for about 2 hours to set the ganache. Once set, slice and serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
STORING THE BROWNIES
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for 1 week.
SERVING THE BROWNIES
These brownies are best served at room temperature. It’s best to slice them after the chocolate ganache has set in the fridge. After slicing bring them to room temperature before serving.
WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?
Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then level off the access by scraping with a knife. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour causes the flour to compress and you will get more flour than the recipe calls for.
DO I NEED TO USE ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS?
Yes, you do. Room temperature eggs allows the eggs to break down easier in the batter, giving you chewy brownies.

Start by preheating your oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. I can not say enough about how much I love using parchment paper. The cookies come off the pan so easily and there not greasy like you get when you use butter or spray oil on the pan.
In a large bowl or stand mixer with the paddle attachment on cream together butter and sugar. You want the mixture to be light and fluffy, I usually mix mine for 3 minutes.
