Ganache Topping:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until just incorporated.
- Bake: Pour batter into pan, smooth the top, and bake for 18–22 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Make ganache: Heat cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit, then stir until smooth.
- Top and chill: Spread ganache over cooled brownies, sprinkle with rainbow chips, refrigerate until set.
- Serve: Slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- For a chewy texture, avoid overbaking and chill after adding ganache.
- Use mini M&M’s or rainbow candy chips for a nostalgic touch.
