These Cadbury Egg Brownies are one of my new favorite Easter desserts. They start with my favorite rich, fudgy homemade brownie base and are packed with crunchy, chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs. The chewy brownies, paired with the smooth chocolate eggs makes an irresistible combination!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, and spray with nonstick spray.

Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and spread the batter evenly on the top.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the remaining Mini Egg chocolate pieces on top of the brownies.
Bake for 22 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle has a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
While still warm, press additional Egg pieces on top of the brownies, for looks.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and enjoying.

Notes

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.

For Clean Slices: To get the cleanest slices, let your brownies cool to room temperature, then cool then in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes, then slice the brownies. also make sure to use a sharp greased knife, and clean between slices.

Double the Recipe: For even more brownies, double the recipe and bake in a 9x13 pan. This will increase the baking time to about 30-40 minutes.
