Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Mini Egg Brownies

• Melt the Butter and Chocolate in a large mixing bowl: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully combined and smooth.
• Mix the Sugars: Whisk the melted chocolate-butter mixture, then stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
• Add Eggs: Beat in one egg at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract for extra flavor.
• Sift in Dry Ingredients: Sift flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined to keep the brownies fudgy.
• Add Mini Easter Candy Eggs: Fold in malted Easter candy eggs or mini egg chocolates, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
• Transfer to the Prepared Pan and Top with More Mini Eggs: Pour the brownie batter into the parchment paper lined 8×8-inch pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle extra crushed mini Easter eggs on top for added texture and flavor.
• Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
• Cool and Enjoy your Perfect Easter Treat: Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps the brownies set for the perfect fudgy texture.

Best Easter Mini Egg Candies to Use

You can use these variations of candies to suit your preference. Here are some great options:

• Robin Eggs (Whoppers) – Malted crunch pairs perfectly with fudgy brownies.
• Cadbury Mini Eggs – This will make your Cadbury mini egg brownies extra chocolatey, plus you can chose the type of chocolate in this candy which is so fun! 
• M&M’s Easter Eggs – Add a colorful crunch.
• Reese’s Eggs – For a peanut butter-chocolate combo.
• Crunch Egg Candies – Great for extra crisp texture.

What Is the Shell of a Mini Egg Made Of?

The hard shell of mini eggs (like Cadbury Mini Eggs) is made from sugar, cornstarch, food coloring, and glaze. This gives them their crisp texture and vibrant color. The inside is a solid milk chocolate center.

Robin Eggs (Whoppers) have a malted milk center with a candy shell, which pairs amazingly with these fudgy brownies!

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to Store Brownies

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
•  Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for up to 7 days. Let them come to room temp or microwave for 10 seconds before eating.

Can You Freeze Brownies?

3. Freeze for up to 2 months.

What Makes Brownies More Fudgy?

Fudgy brownies come down to three key things:

• Minimal Mixing – Overmixing incorporates air, which can make brownies more cakey. Stir just until combined!
• More Fat, Less Flour – Using butter and chocolate instead of too much flour creates a rich, dense texture.
• More Eggs – Eggs add structure but also contribute to moisture.

Why Are My Brownies Dry?

Overbaking is the most common reason. The edges should be set, but the center should still look slightly underdone when you take them out. They will continue setting as they cool.

Can I Make These in a 9×13 Pan?

Yes! Double the recipe and bake for 30-35 minutes in a 9×13-inch pan. Start checking at around 27. minutes, you want a toothpick inserted in the center of your brownie to come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Can I Make These Without Butter?

You can substitute coconut oil or vegan butter, but the texture will be slightly different.
