Let&#8217;s go over a few important ingredients you&#8217;ll need to make this childhood favorite at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:&nbsp;<\/strong>I prefer using unsalted butter when baking since the amount of salt in salted butters varies between brands. If you only have salted butter on hand, just omit the salt or reduce it to a tiny pinch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar &amp; Brown Sugar: <\/strong>In my classic brownie recipe, I only use granulated sugar. But for this recipe, you will be using a mix of granulated and brown sugar. Just 1\/2 cup of brown sugar adds moisture and flavor to the brownies, giving them that classic Cosmic Brownie texture and taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:&nbsp;<\/strong>You&#8217;ll need three whole eggs and one egg yolk to make this recipe. The extra egg yolk adds more fat so that the brownies are super dense and fudgy. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before whisking them into the batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa Powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>The brownies are made solely with cocoa powder and no melted chocolate. You can use either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/natural-vs-dutch-process-cocoa-powder\/\">unsweetened natural cocoa powder or Dutch-process cocoa powder<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semi-sweet Chocolate:&nbsp;<\/strong>I recommend chopping two 4-ounce bars of chocolate and melting them to make the fudge frosting rather than use chocolate chips, which contain stabilizers and are more resistant to melting.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn Syrup:&nbsp;<\/strong>This ingredient is optional, but it makes the chocolate brownie frosting glossy. If you don&#8217;t have any on hand, you may omit it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cosmic Brownie Sprinkles:&nbsp;<\/strong>I used rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips on top of the ganache frosting. You can find them at <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+2cQ0CzWiYvyFUma0Sd2g4A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Walmart<\/a>, on Amazon, or you can substitute them with mini M&amp;M&#8217;s or regular sprinkles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

Cover the pan with plastic wrap, or transfer the brownies to an airtight container. They&#8217;ll last up to five days in the fridge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Can This Recipe Be Made in Advance?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can bake the brownies a day in advance and frost them the day you plan on serving them. Or, prepare the entire Cosmic Brownie recipe as written up to 24 hours before slicing and serving. The brownies keep well in the fridge, tightly covered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Can Mix-Ins Be Added to the Batter?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Absolutely! Store-bought Cosmic Brownies don&#8217;t contain any mix-ins so I didn&#8217;t use any in this recipe.&nbsp;However, mini chocolate chips or finely chopped nuts would be delicious in these brownies. I suggest only using about 1 cup of mix-ins if you do add them.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25189 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cosmic-Brownies-4.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A stack of three homemade Cosmic Brownies.

This will make it much easier to remove the brownies from the pan!<\/li>\n<li>Room temperature eggs will mix much easier into the batter. If you forget to set them out ahead of time, place them in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>The corn syrup in the chocolate brownie frosting is optional, but recommended. It makes the frosting glossy and gives the brownies a store-bought appearance.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>You MUST let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. If needed, you can make the brownie base in advance, then frost them later on when you have time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Want to freeze these brownies?<\/strong>&nbsp;Slice the chilled brownies, wrap each one tightly with plastic wrap, and store them in a large freezer bag\/container for up to 3 months.
