Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Incorporate large eggs, an extra egg yolk, and pure vanilla extract into the sugar mixture.
  4. Sift in unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt; mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly; bake for 27-33 minutes.
  6. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. Prepare the ganache by heating heavy cream in a saucepan until it just simmers. Pour it over chopped semisweet chocolate and corn syrup, then mix until smooth.
  8. Spread the smooth ganache over the cooled brownies and sprinkle with rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips.
  9. Refrigerate your brownies for 1-2 hours to allow the ganache to set properly; then cut into squares and serve.
