A playful twist on classic fudgy chocolate brownies with a crispy crackly top and colorful, crunchy rainbow chips that add a festive pop to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (175g) rainbow chips (colorful candy-coated chocolate chips)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter gently until fully liquefied but not browned. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Mix the sugar and melted butter together in a large bowl until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  7. Fold in 3/4 cup of rainbow chips gently, reserving the rest for topping.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of rainbow chips evenly on top.
  9. Bake for 28-32 minutes at 350°F (175°C). Check at 28 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use slightly cooled melted butter to avoid cooking the eggs. Fold dry ingredients gently to prevent tough brownies. Sprinkle some rainbow chips on top for extra crunch. Check brownies early to avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture. Cooling before slicing is crucial to prevent crumbling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking mix. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free vanilla and chips.
