Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 ounces (142 grams) unsweetened baking chocolate, cut into chunks
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) all-purpose flour
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) salted butter
- 1 3/4 cup (420 milliliters) sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- 9 Cadbury Easter Eggs (in your choice of flavors)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a square baking dish with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Gently melt chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low temperature, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to rest and cool for approximately 5 minutes after removing from heat.
- Whip sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until the combination becomes light and creamy.
- Incorporate the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, blending thoroughly on low speed until completely integrated.
- Carefully fold flour into the batter, ensuring no dry pockets remain and achieving a uniform consistency.
- Transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly across the surface.
- Strategically position Easter eggs across the batter, softly pressing them into the surface using a spoon to anchor them slightly.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center.
- Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely on a wire rack, which helps set the texture.
- Once cooled, slice into square portions and serve.
Notes
- Customize chocolate selection by using dark, milk, or white chocolate for varied flavor profiles.
- Adjust Easter egg placement by pushing them deeper or keeping more surface exposed for visual appeal.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with almond or coconut flour for dietary restrictions.
- Enhance moisture by adding a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to prevent dry brownies.
