What Do You Need to Make Mini Egg Brownies?
Butter – Gives the brownies richness and keeps them fudgy. Melted butter also helps create that signature crackly top.
Light Brown Sugar – Adds moisture and a subtle caramel flavour, making the brownies extra soft and chewy.
Dark Chocolate – The key to a deep, rich chocolate flavour. Using real chocolate in the batter makes these brownies extra indulgent.
Caster Sugar – Helps achieve that classic shiny, crackly top while balancing the flavours.
Eggs – Essential for structure and that perfect fudgy texture. Beating them well helps give the brownies a slight lift.
Plain Flour – Just enough to hold everything together without making the brownies cakey.
Cocoa Powder – Boosts the chocolate flavour even more and keeps the brownies extra rich.
Cadbury Mini Eggs – The ultimate Easter treat! They add a crunchy texture and bursts of creamy milk chocolate throughout.
Milk Chocolate Chips – Extra pockets of melty chocolate goodness, making every bite even more indulgent.

Mini Egg Brownies
Equipment
- Greaseproof Paper
- Whisk
- Small saucepan
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 125 grams light brown sugar
- 125 grams golden caster sugar
- 4 medium eggs
- 125 grams plain flour
- 200 grams Cadburys Mini Eggs
- 75 grams milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit or 175º Celsius.
- Prep a baking tray or cake tin with baking spray or greaseproof paper.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, dark chocolate.
- In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, light brown sugar and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the plain flour and cocoa powder to the eggs, and mix together until combined.
- Add the melted butter and chocolate to the dry ingredients and mix together until well combined. Chuck in half of the Mini Eggs and stir.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Put the rest of the Mini Eggs on top of the mix. They'll probably sink into the brownies when they bake but it doesn't matter. Add the milk chocolate chips to the top.
- Bake the Mini Egg brownies for about 30 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they will seem under cooked, but they will firm up as they cool down. Allow to cool and then cut into 16 portions.

Tips for Making Brownies
Make sure your ingredients (especially eggs and butter) are at room temperature.
Crack your eggs into a separate jug or bowl before adding to the mixture, and add them one at a time. This way you can make sure there is no eggshell going into your mixture.
Use good quality vanilla extract.
The brownies may seem a bit squidgy and gooey when you take them out of the oven but they’ll firm up as they cool down. If in doubt, it’s better to slightly underbake a brownie than overbake (it’ll go more like a cake if you overbake it, and you won’t get that fudgy squishiness that brownies are known for).
These are perfect with Easter coming up! Also, love that you used dark chocolate!
They are delicious! Dark chocolate makes all the difference 🙂
