- Transfer batter into baking pan, and spread around until nice and even. Cook in preheated oven for 28-30 minutes.
- While brownies are baking, make ganache topping.
- In a bowl, mix together butter, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla.
- Add powdered sugar and half and half. Mix until ganache is smooth and creamy. If mixture is dry, add a splash more of half and half.
- As soon as brownies are done and out of the oven, place ganache on top of hot brownies so the ganache is easier to spread around.
- Spread ganache on top of brownies in an even layer.
- Sprinkle sprinkles on top.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Store brownies in container in fridge.
- Enjoy!
