Description

Add these Mini Egg Brownies to your Easter baking list! These fudge brownies have chocolate mini eggs in the batter and sprinkled on top. A drizzle of white melted chocolate gives them a little glam and they’re oh-so-yummy! If you love desserts with mini eggs, you’re in for a treat!


Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate

2 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 cup mini eggs (reserve a few to sprinkle on top of brownies before baking)

2 ounces white chocolate, melted for drizzle on top of cooked brownies


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Non-stick spray works well too. Set aside.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter and chocolate squares over low heat, stirring often and being careful not to scorch the chocolate.
  3. Transfer chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in granulated sugar, followed by both eggs and vanilla just until combined.
  4. Stir in all-purpose flour and stir just until combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of mini eggs. You may want to reserve a few to sprinkle on top of the brownies right before baking.
  6. Transfer brownie batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with additional chopped mini eggs on top of the brownies. You can also chop a few easter eggs and the candy shell will fall apart. These can be sprinkled over top of the brownies before baking.
  7. Bake in 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Place on wire cooling rack and allow brownies to cool for at least 15 minutes before drizzling with white chocolate.
  8.  In microwave, melt white chocolate for 30 seconds. The chocolate will still be semi-solid. Continue to stir and the remaining chocolate pieces will melt in the warm chocolate. Depending on your microwave, the chocolate may require another 15 to 20 seconds. 
  9. Drizzle melted chocolate over brownies. Allow the brownies to set for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares using a sharp knife. ENJOY!

Notes

Storage & Freezing Instructions:

Brownies are best enjoyed fresh in one to two days. Store cooled brownies in airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Storing the brownies in the refrigerator will give them a few added days of freshness.

Cooled brownies may be frozen for up to two months by placing in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper.
