Ingredients
Butter– use unsalted butter that is melted and slightly cooled. You can melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Sugars– granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Eggs– make sure the eggs are at room temperature. Vanilla extract– always use pure vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla. Flour– use all-purpose flour. Cocoa powder– you can use Dutch processed cocoa or unsweetened cocoa powder. Espresso powder– optional, but so good! It brings out the best chocolate flavor. Salt– use kosher salt. Chocolate chunks– use semi-sweet chocolate. You can chop up your favorite bar. I like Guittard or Trader Joe’s pound plus bar. Cadbury mini eggs– the BEST spring candy! Stock up on several bags. Flaky sea salt– to finish the brownies.
How to Make Cadbury Egg Brownies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13″ baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper with an overhang on the sides and spray again. This will make it easy to lift the brownies out of the pan after baking. Set the pan aside.
In a large mixing bowl stir together melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Sift in flour and cocoa.
Add the salt and espresso powder, if using, and stir until just combined. Don’t over mix.
Fold in the chopped chocolate and 1 cup of the Cadbury eggs.
Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes on the middle rack in the oven until the brownies are just set to touch. Don’t over bake the brownies. They will set up as they cool.
Remove from oven and while the brownies are still warm gently press the remaining Cadbury eggs evenly on top of the brownies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
How to Store & Freeze
Storing on Counter: Uncut brownies that are stored in the pan and covered will keep on the counter for up to 4 days. If you cut the brownies, they will dry out faster. Wrap cut brownies in plastic wrap and keep on the counter for 1 to 2 days. Don’t store brownies in the refrigerator or they will dry out. Freezing: Wrap brownies tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again with foil or place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw at room temperature before enjoying!
