Brownies:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 inch pan with parchment paper; set aside.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the chocolate chips; stir until melted. Remove from the heat; add brown sugar; stir until smooth. Add the cocoa powder; stir.
Stir ibn the vanilla; whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time. When the mixture is smooth and shiny, spread the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake 24-26 minutes, just until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle shows moist crumbs.
Let bars cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
While the brownies are baking, heat the heavy cream on the stove top over low heat until steaming, or in a medium glass bowl in the microwave until simmering. Remove from the heat.
Add the chocolate to the heavy cream; let sit for a few minutes. Stir or whisk to combine until the chocolate mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add the sugar and cocoa powder; stir until completely smooth.
Refrigerate the frosting for about 1 hour. Spread frosting over the cooled brownies.
Sprinkle the candy coated chocolates on the still wet frosting.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the frosting to set, before slicing into 12 bars.
