It's okay and I know it's frustrating when recipes don't go the way you want. But once this recipe is done and you take the first bite, you'll be in heaven!
Mixing up the brownie ingredients
First you want to kick this off with the brownie ingredients. Mix everything in a medium-sized bowl in a square pan lined with parchment paper. The parchment paper helps the brownies come out without hassle.
Ganache topping
The ganache topping has to sit in the fridge for an hour before you cut up the brownies to enjoy. Make sure you pop them back in the fridge after you're done so the chocolate topping doesn't melt.
I was never a fan of cosmic brownies until I was older and I really started to enjoy more chocolate desserts. Don't eat too much or you'll be up all night with a sugar high! Or do, there's no rules with chocolate over here. Follow the recipe instructions below to make this dessert for yourself.

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. I found some at Wegmans.
