Chocolate Mixture
- 4 oz butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate, broken into squares
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 tsp all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
Add-Ins and Decoration
- 3 oz Cadbury chocolate eggs (Mini Eggs)
- 2 oz chocolate eggs (for decoration)
- 1 oz white chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Place the butter and dark chocolate squares in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring well after each burst until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together for about 3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the warm chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. This gradual mixing helps prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the combined mixture and gently mix just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Mix to Smooth Batter: Switch to a spatula and stir gently until the batter becomes thick and smooth.
- Preheat Oven and Fold in Mini Eggs: Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Fold 3 oz of Cadbury Mini Eggs into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish and Pour Batter: Grease a 6×8-inch baking dish and pour the batter in, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Add Decorative Eggs: Remove the brownies from the oven and press half of the decoration chocolate eggs into the top of the brownies. Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set.
- Final Decoration and Cooling: Press in the remaining decoration eggs on top, finely chop a few extra eggs for added texture, and drizzle melted white chocolate over the brownies. Allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake; brownies should be fudgy and moist.
- You can substitute Cadbury Mini Eggs with any similar candy-coated chocolate eggs.
- For easier slicing, refrigerate the brownies after cooling completely.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the eggs finely for texture to avoid crushing them into powder.
- Let the melted white chocolate cool slightly before drizzling to prevent melting the chopped eggs on top.
