These Cosmic Brownies are cocoa brownies topped off with a rich chocolate fudge topping and rainbow sprinkles. A copycat of the Little Debbie classic that tastes even better than the original version! Cosmic Brownies are a great candidate for the freezer. Simply wrap the bars individually with plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. You can thaw your brownies at room temperature when you’re ready to eat them. Cosmic Brownies are definitely not just for the kids – they’re a great addition to any dessert table and are sure to earn you rave reviews.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9" x 9" square pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both sides. Coat the pan with cooking spray.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread it into an even layer.

Let the brownies cool.
10

Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments until cream is very hot but not boiling.
11

Add the chopped chocolates to the cream. Let sit for a minute, then stir until a smooth chocolate mixture forms. Stir in the butter until melted.

Pour the chocolate over the top of the brownies. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer. Add the sprinkles on top of the chocolate.
