These fudgy, rich brownie bites are studded with rainbow sprinkles for a pop of color and crunch. Quick and easy to make, they’re perfect for celebrations or a simple treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies), plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the sugar while the butter is still warm. Let cool for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in ½ cup of rainbow sprinkles.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra sprinkles on top.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack (about 30-40 minutes).
  10. Lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang, cut into 16 squares, and serve.

Notes

For the best fudgy texture, do not overmix the batter and underbake slightly. Use jimmies-style sprinkles to prevent color bleeding. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
