1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Pour ganache over cooled brownies, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with candy jewels, pressing gently to adhere.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until ganache sets. Cut into bars and serve.
