Ingredients for Topping
Directions
Step One: Make the Brownie Batter
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
If using my silicone baking pans, greasing is not necessary. If using metal pans, line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, butter, water, and vanilla.
- Combine the wet mix with the dry mix, stirring gently until combined.
Divide the batter between the pans (approximately 1050 grams per pan) and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache and Topping
Heat the heavy cream until just steaming (not boiling). If using the microwave, heat in short intervals, stirring between each, until hot and steaming.
Pour over chocolate and let sit for 2–3 minutes.
Stir slowly until fully smooth.
Add butter and corn syrup, stir until glossy and silky.
Pour the ganache over each pan of brownies.
Allow the ganache to cool for approximately 10 minutes and top with the rainbow chocolate chips. Note: make sure the ganache is cooled enough (yet still not completely set) so that the rainbow chocolate chips do not melt.
Cut the Brownies
Once the ganache has set completely, remove each brownie slab from their pan.
Cut each brownie slab into (4) equal squares. If desired, you can then cut each of the slabs into smaller, bite-sized squares.
Note: a plastic knife is excellent for cutting brownies.
Recipe Note
Brownie Storage Tips
Store brownie squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer freshness, freeze for up to 3 months. If stacking brownies, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
