Tips:

The key is to pop the brownies in the fridge with the fudge top so it hardens. You can even keep the brownies in there overnight.
I got the sprinkles on Amazon but you can find them at your local grocery store
Make sure the brownie batter mix isn't too fudgy or it'll be hard to set the fudge topping.

¾ cup flour

1 cup sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tbs light corn syrup
2 tbs milk
¾ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Fudge frosting

½ cup evaporated milk

Instructions

Instructions for frosting:

Preheat oven to 350
Add the melted butter and sugar to your mixer and blend until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and light corn syrup until its mixed together. Slowly add in the milk and mix.
In a medium bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and whisk together. Slowly add this flour mixture to the wet mixture 1 cup at a time.
Pour brownie batter into a square pan that's greased or you can line it with parchment paper.
Cook brownies at 350 for 27 minutes. Add a few minutes if you need more bake time on the brownies.
On the stove top, heat up evaporated milk and chocolate chips. Set aside to let the frosting thicken.
Pour the frosting on top of the brownies while it's still slightly hot and top with sprinkles. Place in the fridge for a few hours for the frosting mixture to harden.
Once the brownies are cool, place the frosting on top followed by the sprinkles. Set in the fridge for 3-4 hours to harden. I let it sit overnight in the fridge.
Cut and serve!
