Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Chocolate and Egg Additions:
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly crushed
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, whole or slightly crushed (for topping)
Seasoning and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and positioning a rack in the center.
- Create a non-stick surface in an 8-inch baking pan by lining with parchment paper and applying a light grease coating.
- Combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugars in a large mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, mixing vigorously until the ingredients are fully integrated and the texture becomes slightly frothy.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a separate bowl to eliminate potential lumps.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, using careful strokes to prevent overmixing and maintain a light brownie texture.
- Delicately integrate crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Artfully scatter remaining whole and crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips across the top of the batter.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge with moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes, which helps them set and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into square portions and serve, enjoying the rich chocolate and candy-studded treat.
Notes
- Crush Cadbury Mini Eggs gently to maintain some texture and prevent complete pulverization during mixing.
- Reserve some whole and crushed eggs for beautiful top decoration, creating visual appeal and extra chocolate crunch.
- Consider using dark cocoa powder for deeper, more intense chocolate flavor that complements the sweet Mini Eggs.
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before cutting to achieve clean, precise squares and prevent crumbling.
