Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Topping Ingredients:
- 6 Cadbury Creme Eggs, cut in half
- 6 Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, whole
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper, applying a light grease coating.
- Create a smooth base by whisking melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until fully integrated. Incorporate eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Gently sift cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet mixture, stirring delicately to prevent overmixing. Carefully fold chocolate chips throughout the batter to enhance richness and texture.
- Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared pan, ensuring a level surface. Bake for approximately 25 minutes until the brownies begin to set.
- Remove the partially baked brownies and strategically nestle halved Cadbury Creme Eggs across the surface, positioning them cut-side upward. Scatter Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs for additional visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Return the pan to the oven, allowing the eggs to slightly melt and integrate with the brownie base for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool within the pan for a minimum of 30 minutes, enabling proper setting and structural stability. For optimal serving and cleaner slicing, refrigerate for one hour before cutting and presenting.
Notes
- Gently press Creme Eggs when brownies are warm to ensure they sink slightly into the batter without completely disappearing.
- For a cleaner presentation, freeze Creme Eggs briefly before cutting them in half to prevent messy splitting.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version without compromising the rich chocolate texture.
- Reduce sugar by 25% and use dark chocolate chips for a less sweet, more intense brownie experience that adults might prefer.
