Instructions:
To Make the Brownies:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, whole eggs, and egg yolks until fully combined.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this process until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add the Oil:
- Whisk the vegetable oil into the melted chocolate mixture.
- Combine the Mixtures:
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the sugar mixture. Mix until everything is fully combined. Gently fold in the flour and cocoa powder.
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely.
To Make the Ganache:
- Heat the Cream:
- Pour the heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Add the chocolate chips to the heated cream and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Top the Brownies:
- Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread it evenly using an offset spatula. Immediately sprinkle the rainbow chocolate chips on top.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the ganache to cool completely before slicing the brownies into squares.
