Directions

  1. 1Melt half a cup of butter in a pan on low heat.
  2. 2While the butter melts, combine one cup of brown sugar and one cup of white sugar in a bowl.
  3. 3In a separate measuring cup, crack two eggs and two egg yolks.
  4. 4Add a teaspoon of vanilla to the eggs and egg yolks.
  5. 5In another bowl, combine one and a fourth cups of flour with one and a fourth cups of cocoa powder.
  6. 6Add one tablespoon of corn starch and one teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
  7. 7Once the butter is bubbling, add the sugars to the pan and mix until all the butter is absorbed.
  8. 8Pour the butter and sugar mixture into a bowl.
  9. 9Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture.
  10. 10Mix the wet ingredients together, ensuring the mixture becomes thick, shiny, and juicy.
  11. 11Fold in the dry ingredients until fully mixed.
  12. 12Scoop the brownie batter into heart-shaped silicone molds.
  13. 13Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.
  14. 14While the brownies bake, heat one cup of heavy cream until scalding.
  15. 15Pour the scalding cream over one cup of chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute.
  16. 16Whisk the chocolate and cream until it becomes shiny and smooth, forming a ganache.
  17. 17After the brownies are out of the oven, pour the ganache into the molds over the brownies for a clean edge.
  18. 18Use a spatula to spread the ganache evenly.
  19. 19Sprinkle cosmic brownie rainbow sprinkles on top of the ganache.
  20. 20Let the brownies set in the fridge before popping them out of the molds.
  21. 21Serve the cosmic brownie dupes on a tiered platter with baking liners.
