How To Make No-Bake Cosmic Brownie Bars

Step 1: Prepare the Base Layer

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder.
  2. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand and is fully combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into an 8×8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the fudge layer.

Step 2: Make the Fudge Layer

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
  2. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Pour the fudge mixture over the chilled base layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 3: Add the Cosmic Toppings

  1. Sprinkle the colorful chocolate candies or sprinkles evenly over the fudge layer while it is still soft.
  2. Gently press the toppings into the fudge to ensure they stick.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
  2. Once firm, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve!
