were the absolute highlight of my elementary school lunchtime career. There's something about the colorful chocolate chips and dense, fudgy brownie that just can't be beat. Unfortunately, this also probably had something to do with preservatives or artifical flavors, but that was the least of my worries back in those days! When a craving for them recently struck me, I was glad to find that there are plenty of copycat recipes out there that you can make right in your own kitchen.
by any means, but they're definitely a delicious and adorable nostalgic treat. Plus, I always feel better when I know exactly what's in the food I'm eating.is simple for how delicious they are. You start by combining melted butter, white sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. The mixture will be very thick, so I recommend using a wooden spoon rather than a whisk. Then comes the unique part: add two eggs, and use an electric mixer to beat them in for about five minutes.
The recipe recommends frosting the brownies while they're still warm, but it also calls for cooling them on a wire rack. To be safe, I let mine cool for about an hour before adding frosting, which is a delicious chocolate ganache. I wanted to follow the recipe exactly, so I used both milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I thought the frosting had the perfect level of sweetness and was as thick as I remembered.
I never would have guessed how well chocolate ganache would perfectly replicate the thick frosting of cosmic brownies, but it was perfect! For a final touch, I topped with mini M&M's. I would have loved to find the colorful chocolate sprinkles of my youth, but the M&M's were a fine substitute. As for how well this recipe replicated cosmic brownies? It came pretty darn close. The texture is dense and fudgier than any brownie I've ever had.
