Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour and cocoa powder together.
  3. In a separate larger bowl, whisk the butter and sugars together.
  4. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the pan, and use a spatula to spread it out.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out nearly clean. Allow brownies to cool.
  8. While the brownies are baking, place 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a pot and add 1 cup of chocolate chips. Heat, stirring until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  9. Spread the frosting out over the brownies. Then, sprinkle rainbow chips over the frosting.
  10. Refrigerate or freeze to let the frosting set before enjoying!

Notes

You can use a neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola, or coconut oil, in place of the butter, but your brownies may not turn out as soft. To cut these brownies cleanly, dip a knife in hot water, then wipe it off between slices.
