Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
Step 2
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a microwave or saucepan. Stir in granulated sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in flour until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Step 4
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan.
Step 5
Beat remaining 1/4 cup butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar and milk, beating until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, then cut into squares and serve.
