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
- 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.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter and chocolate squares over low heat, stirring often and being careful not to scorch the chocolate.
- Transfer chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in granulated sugar, followed by both eggs and vanilla just until combined.
- Stir in all-purpose flour and stir just until combined.
- Stir in 1 cup of mini eggs. You may want to reserve a few to sprinkle on top of the brownies right before baking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
