Tips and Tricks:
- Add Caramel Eggs Instead: Swap the Mini Eggs for chopped mini Caramel Eggs instead, for a gooey, extra rich version of these brownies!
- Don’t Overbake: Fudgy brownies are the goal, so keep an eye on the brownies the last few minutes, checking them often to ensure you don’t overbake the brownies.

- Double the Recipe: For even more brownies, double the recipe and bake in a 9×13 pan. This will increase the baking time to about 30-40 minutes.

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
