2 things always call out to me when you see a cosmic brownie: the frosting and the sprinkles! Let’s talk frosting first!

Little Debbie brownies always have a shiny, rich layer of chocolate fudge frosting on top. We’re making a similar frosting for this recipe that’s going to be just as shiny as the packaged brownies! When you pour the frosting on the brownies let it sit for a few minutes to set completely. You can even put them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to set them quicker!

Can you put sprinkles in the oven? I recommend not adding the sprinkles on these brownies until after you pull them from the oven – this will result in much brighter colors and prevent your sprinkles from melting!
