Ingredients You’ll Need

5 oz bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa solids or 85% dark chocolate): This rich chocolate provides a deep flavor base for the brownies. Avoid using sweet chocolate to maintain balance.
6 tablespoons unsalted butter: Adds creaminess and helps create a fudgy texture. Stick to unsalted butter for better control over the overall flavor.
2 large eggs (at room temperature): Room temperature eggs help the batter mix evenly and provide structure.
1 cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the brownies without overpowering the chocolate. You can reduce it slightly for less sweetness.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that brings out the chocolatey notes.
heaped ¼ teaspoon salt: A touch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances flavors.
⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour: Provides structure to the brownies, making them dense and chewy.
heaped ½ cup chopped mini eggs: The stars of the show; they add delightful bursts of sweetness and texture.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened): For the frosting, use softened butter to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
1 tablespoon coconut oil (softened): Adds a rich flavor and helps keep the frosting light.
1 cup powdered confectioner’s sugar: Sweetens the frosting and provides a fluffy texture.
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract: To enhance the flavor of the frosting.
pinch of salt: Just a pinch balances the sweetness.
3 teaspoons whole milk (at room temperature): Adjusts the frosting’s consistency to make it easy to spread.
1 teaspoon cocoa powder: Used for the decorative speckling.
2 teaspoons hot water: Helps dissolve the cocoa powder for the speckled effect.

How to Make Brownies With Cadbury Eggs

Preheat and Prepare: First, preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 7×7-inch or 8×8-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper, creating a 2-inch overhang on each side. This will help you remove the brownies easily later.
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the 5 oz of bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir until completely melted and glossy. Alternatively, melt in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring each time. Keep warm, but avoid letting it cool.
Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture turns pale, creamy, and thickened slightly. This should take a couple of minutes.
Mix in Chocolate: Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and the heaped ¼ teaspoon of salt to the egg mixture. Then, incorporate the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and glossy.
Fold in the Flour and Candy: Sift in ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to remove lumps, folding it gently until just combined. Then gently fold in the heaped ½ cup of chopped mini eggs, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Bake the Brownies: Scrape the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a small offset spatula. Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until the top is slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid over-baking!
Cool Completely: Once baked, lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment overhang and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, coconut oil, 1 cup of powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in the 3 teaspoons of milk, one at a time, until you achieve a soft, spreadable consistency. Add a few drops of blue food coloring and a drop of green for a fun pastel aqua color.
Frost and Decorate: Spread the frosting generously onto the cooled brownies and sprinkle with additional chopped mini eggs on top.
Create Speckles: In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder with 2 teaspoons of hot water until combined. Dip the tip of a dry pastry brush into the cocoa mixture and flick it over the frosted brownies to create speckles. This can be a little messy, so enjoy the process and wear an apron!
Serve: Use a hot, dry knife to slice the brownies and serve them up to your eager guests!

Storing & Reheating

Store your brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them for a week. You can also freeze brownies for up to 3 months—just make sure they’re wrapped tightly. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge or at room temperature. To revitalize the fudgy texture, warm them in the microwave for about 10 seconds!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Be careful not to over-mix the egg and sugar mixture; this ensures your brownies remain dense and fudgy.
Use room temperature eggs and milk for the best integration in your batter and frosting.
Check brownies for doneness around the 22-minute mark. Underdone brownies create that heavenly gooey texture!
If you like nuts, feel free to throw in some chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor!
For an extra-special treat, try adding a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce atop your frosted brownies.

These brownies are an absolute delight, perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own. They bring warmth and joy to any occasion, and the combination of chewy brownie, creamy frosting, and the festive crunch of Cadbury mini eggs is simply unbeatable. Don’t hesitate to tweak the recipe and make it your own—there’s no wrong way to enjoy these delicious bites of happiness.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use other types of chocolate for these brownies?

Yes, they freeze quite well! Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

How can I make these brownies gluten-free?

You can easily swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Just ensure that it contains xanthan gum for the best results!

What’s the best way to cut brownies neatly?

To achieve those perfect brownie squares, use a knife dipped in hot water. Wipe it dry between each cut for clean edges, ensuring that you get beautiful slices every time.
