- All-purpose flour – Provides structure to the brownies without making them dry or cakey.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – Gives the brownies deep chocolate flavor and intense color.

Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. First, preheat the oven to 350. Then prepare a 9×9-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2. Get out a large bowl and whisk together melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Step 4. You will need a separate mixing bowl. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Step 5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not overmix.
Step 6. Once combined, carefully stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and chopped cadbury Eggs.
Step 7. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the baking pan.
Step 8. Allow the brownies to bake for 25–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Immediately press the remaining Mini Eggs into the top of the warm brownies. Make sure to cool completely before you attempt to slice.
Storage
Room Temperature: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They stay soft, fudgy, and chocolatey.
Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Allow brownies to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Freezer: Wrap individual brownies or the whole batch tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before enjoying.
Pro Tip: To maintain gooeyness, avoid overbaking and always store brownies in a sealed container to prevent them from drying out.
Pro Tips
- Mix gently. Combine the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough brownies instead of soft, fudgy ones.
- Watch the bake time. For ultimate fudginess, remove brownies from the oven when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. They’ll continue to set as they cool, so don’t wait for it to come out completely clean.
- Room-temperature eggs. Using eggs at room temperature helps the batter blend smoothly, giving a tender, even texture.
- Chop chocolate evenly. Ensure semi-sweet chocolate and Cadbury Mini Eggs are roughly chopped but not too small, so you get pockets of melty chocolate in every bite.
- Let them cool before cutting. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly and make neat, clean slices.
- Avoid overbaking. Even a minute too long can dry out the edges. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes of baking.
- Customize your mix-ins. Add nuts, chocolate chips, or extra Cadbury Mini Eggs on top for extra texture and fun.
