- 1
Make the brownies: Bake the brownies according to package directions in a 9×13 pan or slightly smaller rectangular pan (see note 1). I usually try to let them cool for an hour before frosting them.

Make the frosting: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt; bring to a consistent boil over medium heat and cook for 45 seconds (it should be at a rolling boil for the full 45 seconds). Set a timer so you don't overcook it!

Mix in the chocolate: Turn off the heat and add chocolate chips and stir to combine (if there are stubborn lumps, just whisk it for a minute).

Frost the brownies: Working quickly, pour the frosting over the brownies and spread evenly and add sprinkles. The frosting will start to set immediately, so don't be a slow poke with this part (see note 2)!

Rest and serve: Let the frosting rest for 15-30 minutes, depending on how clean you want your slices to be! Cut, serve, PARTY TIME!
