    Why You'll Love These Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies

    • This recipe only needs one bowl and can be made in under an hour.
    • They're perfect for Easter dessert.
    • You can use creme eggs or caramel eggs, whichever you prefer.
    • These brownies are ultra fudgy aand dense, not cakey!
    • Fun to make with kids, friends, or by yourself!

    Ingredients needed for these creme egg brownies

    This recipe includes everything you would typically need for a brownie recipe, but I would point out a few things below:

    • unsalted butter- I always use unsalted butter when baking in order to control the amount of salt that goes into the recipe. No worries if you only have salted butter, just omit the salt (or cut in half) that the recipe calls for!
    • semi-sweet chocolate- I love chopping up a chocolate bar for this recipe, but you can also use chocolate chips if you perfer! You'll need about ⅔ cup of chocolate chips.
    • cocoa powder- make sure it's unsweetened cocoa powder.
    • cadbury creme eggs- the star of the show here! You can usually find these at your local grocery store around Easter. You can also try this recipe with the caramel eggs as well.
    ingredients needed to make cadbury creme egg brownies

    Step by Step Instructions:

    step 1: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take out and stir, then microwave again in 15-second intervals until smooth and no chunks of chocolate are left.

    Add the sugar and stir. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, and give this a good whisk for about a minute, until fully incorporated. I like to whisk until there are little bubbles on top, that way I know it's really mixed together!

    Add in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just incorporated. Spread this into your parchment paper-lined baking pan.

    step 2: Carefully cut your creme eggs in half (make sure they are chilled before cutting) and place them on top of the brownies, pressing them into the batter gently.

    Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°, until the brownies are just set.

    step 3: Remove and allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.

    Tips & Tricks

    • freeze your creme eggs- Cutting creme eggs can be tough because the inside is a runny creamy consistency. Getting them cold beforehand helps! See more on how to cut creme eggs below.
    • line your pan with parchment paper- if you aren't lining your pans with parchment paper you aren't living my friend! It's the ultimate hack for making sure your brownies don't stick and it's easy cleanup!
    • don't over-bake the brownies- Brownies are best when they are baked just right, so under baking them by a couple of minutes and letting them cool in the pan is how to get the best texture brownie.
    • pro tip: heat a brownie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream- you'll thank me later!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you cut Cadbury creme eggs in half?

    Like I mentioned above, cutting Cadbury creme eggs in half can be hard because the inside is creamy goodness that will just run all over the place. I stick my creme eggs in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes- 1 hour before cutting them. Make sure to peel the foil wrapping off BEFORE you get them cold. Trust me, I learned the hard way that the foil is much harder to get off when they are frozen 😆

    Once they are chilled and ready to be put on the brownie batter, I carefully cut along the side where the chocolate shell meets and you see a line (be careful). It should cut fairly easily that way! Don't worry if they break, they will still taste great on your brownies!

    How do I know when my brownies are done cooking?

    Brownies can be taken out of the oven when they are still a bit underdone in the middle. They continue to cook and set when they cool down. This is how you get the best fudgy brownies!

    Can I double this recipe?

    Yes, you can! Just double the ingredients and bake in a 9x13 pan. You might need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time, but be sure to watch them while baking to check.

    Storing & Freezing

    Creme egg brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

    To freeze: Once they have cooled, I recommend cutting them into squares and then placing them into a freezer-safe container or bag. They are good in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost by letting them sit out and come to room temperature.
