Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp light corn syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ⅔ cup Dutch cocoa powder
• ½ cup gluten-free 1:1 flour blend
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup bittersweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
• ½ tbsp corn syrup
• ½ tbsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• candy coated chocolate chips

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter with the granulated and brown sugar.

3. 3

   Whisk in the eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla.

4. 4

   Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt and stir until combined.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the pan, leveling the top with a spatula.

6. 6

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up.

7. 7

   After the brownies have chilled, combine the chocolate, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour the cream into a small saucepan.

8. 8

   Heat the cream until it begins to simmer. Pour over the chocolate and let sit for one minute to melt the chocolate. Stir until smooth and melted.

9. 9

   Frost the brownies with the frosting, and sprinkle candy coated chocolate chips. Chill for 30 minutes then serve.
