Equipment

  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Brownie Ingredients:

  • 9 ounces unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 4 teaspoons red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 ounces soft butter
  • 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white creme de cacao flavoring
  • sprinkles as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 9x9" or 10x10" square baking pan with parchment paper, snipping the corners to fit, and spraying down with nonstick spray (a little underneath helps keep it from shifting while adding batter).
  • Stir together the cooled melted butter, sugars, eggs, red food coloring and vanilla in a bowl that does not stain.
  • Separately, mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt then combine to make a smooth batter.
  • Fold in white chocolate chips and spread the batter into the parchment lined baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the brownies registers 180°F. on an instant read thermometer.
  • Cool brownies in pan completely.
  • Mix ingredients for frosting (not the sprinkles) until smooth and spread over the cooled brownies, then decorating the top with sprinkles.
  • Allow the brownies to set up and dry for about an hour or so before cutting 4x4 into 16 bars.
