Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Chocolate and Candy Ingredients:
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly crushed
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, whole or slightly crushed
- Extra chocolate chips
Seasoning and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and applying a light grease coating.
- Combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly to create a homogeneous blend.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to maintain a tender brownie texture.
- Carefully fold crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it smoothly and uniformly.
- Sprinkle additional whole and crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips across the top of the batter.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick that should come out with moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to set properly.
- Slice into squares and serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Crush Cadbury Mini Eggs gently to maintain their colorful shell and prevent complete disintegration during mixing.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a fudgy, tender brownie texture with rich chocolate flavor.
- For gluten-free variation, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free baking flour blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Reserve some whole Cadbury Mini Eggs for decorative topping to create a visually appealing and festive dessert presentation.
