- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

- Divide frosting into 2–3 bowls and tint each with different food coloring (blue, purple, black).
- Spoon dollops of each color onto the cooled brownies and swirl with a knife to create a galaxy effect.
- Top with edible galaxy sprinkles and let frosting set before slicing into squares.
Notes
