Chocolate Frosted Christmas Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking pan and set aside.

In a saucepan set over low heat, add the butter and chopped chocolate. Stir until melted and remove from heat to cool.

Sift flour together with the salt and set aside.

Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix well until incorporated and smooth. Probably only a couple of minutes. Remember do not over mix! If you mix it too long, you will end up with more of a cake texture.

Next, add the chocolate mixture and stir until incorporated. Add flour all at once and gently stir in with a wooden spoon until just incorporated.

In the bowl of your electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as necessary.

Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Mix until combined, just about a minute.

Add the cream, one tablespoon at a time, on medium low speed until combined. About a minute.

Turn the mixer to high speed and continue to mix for about 5 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy and shiny.

Once the brownies have cooled completely, use an offset spatula to evenly spread the frosting over the top. Add sprinkles evenly over the top.
