Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
For the Topping:
- 6–8 Cadbury Creme Eggs, cut in half or quarters (depending on your preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the Brownie Base: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Add the Creme Eggs: Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven. Immediately place the Cadbury Creme Egg halves or quarters on top of the brownies, gently pressing them into the warm brownie base.
- Bake Again: Return the brownies to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, just to allow the Creme Eggs to soften and slightly melt into the brownies.
- Cool & Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- You can add extra chocolate chips to the batter if you prefer more chocolatey richness.
- If you can’t find Cadbury Creme Eggs, you can substitute them with other filled chocolate eggs or chocolate truffles for a similar effect.
- These brownies are extra fudgy, so they might be a bit delicate when cutting. Let them cool completely for cleaner slices.
- For a different flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combination.
