The classic Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie is an extra chewy brownie with a simple ganache on top and those iconic chocolate chip candies. It’s a classic nostalgic treat that we love so much, we knew we had to recreate it. Our copycat version got as close as we possibly could to the original, and we’re pretty darn proud of how similar the two are. Our version is a little fudgier than a Cosmic Brownie, but the brownie is still just as chewy—we’re obsessed. Once the chocolate candies go on, you’ll really feel like you’re eating the real deal.
