Fudgy Sprinkle Brownies

Teresa Ambra

Wow, Fudgy Sprinkle Brownies are to die for. Yes, a really trite saying, but truly these brownies are terrific. They start with my favorite Brownie recipe and include a few twists and turns along the way. I included a ton of sprinkles in the brownie batter as well as dumping them on top of the luscious fudge frosting. Overkill??? Not on your life! 🙂

Back in February our church hosted a youth weekend activity called Disciple Now Weekend. Or, The WKND, as we called it. Saturday everyone was going to be hanging out at church for lunch. Pizza was on the menu. I got a call from one of the host home parents who works a lot with the youth wondering if I’d be interested in making dessert. I’m always up for making dessert so I said YES!

They needed dessert for 100. So I made four different kinds of brownies including my favorite Chocaroons, Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies and Coconut Pecan Pie Bars. Since I made two batches of each recipe it was close to 200 pieces. I wanted to use ingredients I had on hand. Plus, I was trying hard to use up about 10 bags of pecans and 4 large containers of sprinkles (left over from Christmas). This recipe allowed me to kill two birds with one stone. I used up a couple of containers on sprinkles and part of a bag of pecans.

As it turned out, the kids LOVED these brownies. There were none left even though I made two batches (48 brownies). Seriously, who can resist chocolate and sprinkles? If you’re looking for a “knock your socks off” brownie recipe, you’ve got to give these Fudgy Sprinkle Brownies are try. They’re perfect for any kind of social gathering, tailgating party, even holiday baking. But be warned in advance!! You won’t come home with any leftovers. 🙂

Spread icing over top of brownies very quickly or it will become unspreadable. Sprinkle the sprinkles lavishly over the top. Press down very slightly so the sprinkles will adhere to the fudge frosting. Allow icing to set up about 30 minutes before serving.

    I used this recipe as is and my brownies turned out absolutely horrible. They were hard and gritty once they cooled. Also, I set the timer to 35min (based on the timer note under recipe), stopped them with 5 min left and they were already just a tad bit overdone. So they time on here is just so far off.

      Hi Sierra. These are really delicious brownies but apparently your oven cooks very fast. Also the depth of the pan can make a difference. You may want to consider lowering the oven temperature to 325 and baking for about 20-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick. Sorry yours cooked too fast.
