Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 4 ounces unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate (broken into squares)
  • 3 eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 ounces mini chocolate eggs (Cadbury recommended)

Decoration

  • 2 ounces mini chocolate eggs (chopped)
  • 1 ounce white chocolate (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter or spray a 6×8-inch rectangular baking pan, then line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate: Place 4 ounces of unsalted butter and 1 cup semisweet chocolate squares into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
  3. Whisk eggs and sugars: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together 3 room temperature eggs, ½ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light-colored and foamy. This aerates the batter for a better texture.
  4. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the warm chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling and to maintain a smooth consistency.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Sift together ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently stir these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined into a thick, smooth batter.
  6. Fold in mini eggs: Carefully fold in 3 ounces of mini chocolate eggs to incorporate little pockets of candy throughout the batter for festive bursts of flavor.
  7. Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges look dry but the center still jiggles slightly when you gently shake the pan.
  8. Add decorations: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately place half of the mini eggs on top gently to avoid sinking. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Finish topping: Chop the remaining mini eggs and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the warm brownies. Melt 1 ounce of white chocolate and drizzle it artistically over the surface to add a creamy, sweet contrast and a festive look.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack. To release them from the pan, run a smooth-bladed knife around the unlined edges and lift using the parchment paper. Cut into 9 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs helps achieve a lighter, fluffier batter.
  • Microwave intervals for melting chocolate prevent burning; stir well between intervals.
  • Make sure not to overbake the brownies; slightly underbaked centers ensure fudginess.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
  • You can substitute Cadbury mini eggs with any similar festive candy or chocolate eggs.
  • For a cleaner cut, chill brownies slightly before slicing.
