Ingredients
Brownies
12Tablespoons (170 grams)unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the chocolate chips and continue stirring gently until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the cocoa powder, salt, and flour until combined.
Spread the brownie batter in the baking dish. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache
When the brownies are nearly cool, place 1 cup chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream to boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit 3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate chips have melted completely. If it's too thick, microwave 15 to 20 seconds and stir until smooth.
Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle rainbow chips over the top. Allow to set at least 1 hour or refrigerate until the top has hardened.
Slice the brownies into 24 bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
