Ingredients

Brownies

Ganache

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate

Topping

  • 4 tbsp Rainbow Candy Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs slightly on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the brownies out of the pan for slicing and serving.
