Steps:
- For the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment and cooking spray, allowing the parchment to hang over the sides.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and butter. Whisk in the vanilla and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. Lastly, fold in the sprinkles.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it to even out the surface. Bake until the blondies are golden brown, 32 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool completely before icing, about 1 hour.
- For the confetti icing: In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer until just combined. Add the milk and whip until the icing is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
- Spread the icing on the cooled blondies in a thick even layer. Sprinkle the top with as many sprinkles as your heart desires. Refrigerate the baking pan until the icing is firm, at least 1 hour.
- Carefully lift the blondies out of the pan and cut into 2-inch squares.

BROWNIES I
When I make this for friends, I add nuts. When I make this for myself, I add raisins. I've tried M&M candies, toffee bits, and candy confetti -- it's very flexible.

DOUBLE-DECKER CONFETTI BROWNIES
M & M's make these a fun addition to any children's party but adults will love them as well. For easier slicing, turn cooled brownies upside down on a cutting board. The tops won't crumble when the bars are cut from the bottom.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the taste of your brownies. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
