Adult Cosmic Brownies
My Daddy always said, “I never met a Little Debbie I didn’t like.”
I pretty much agree but Cosmic Brownies are my fav!!!
I created a grown up version of my favorite Little Debbie.
If you love rich chocolate fudge this is the perfect Christmas treat for you!
Adult Cosmic Brownies
2 sticks Butter
8 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate
2 cup Sugar
4 Eggs
2 Egg Yolks
3 Tbs Bourbon Vanilla Extract
2 Tbs. Cornstarch
½ c Cocoa Powder
1 c Flour
Icing:
3 c Milk Chocolate Chips
1 c Heavy Cream
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place butter and chopped chocolate in saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted. Stir constantly until smooth. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and stir in sugar. Beat in eggs and egg yolks one at a time. Add vanilla. In a small bowl mix cornstarch, cocoa, and flour. Add to chocolate mixture and stir until just combined. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool.
While the brownies are cooling make the icing. Place chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl. Pour heavy cream over chips and microwave for 40 seconds. Stir and microwave an additional 20-30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Pour icing over brownies and spread to the corners. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before cutting in bars. I left my brownies plain but you could top with rainbow sprinkles for a cosmic affect, or top with chopped pistachios and peppermint for a holiday treat.
