Creme Egg Brownies

Looking for something new to bake over Easter? These creme egg brownies are super chocolatey, combining a favourite chocolate brownie recipe with Cadbury's Creme Eggs on top for the ultimate Easter treat. 

Ingredients: 

200g Dark Chocolate 

115g Butter 

150g Granulated Sugar 

110g Brown Sugar 

3 Medium Sized Eggs 

Pinch of Salt

1 tsp of Vanilla Extract 

70g Plain Flour 

40g Cocoa Powder 

5 Cadbury's Creme Eggs 

Instructions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 180c.
2. Using butter, grease your brownie baking tin. Next, line the tin with parchment paper. This will help to ensure that none of the mixture gets stuck to the tray. 
3. Boil water into a pot on the hob and carefully bring it to a simmer. Cut up your dark chocolate into small chunks and place into a bowl to go on top of the pan. Add the butter and mix until smooth. Once completely melted, take off the hob and leave to cool. 
4. In a separate bowl, mix both the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix after each addition. Then drop in the vanilla extract. 
5. Pour in the melted chocolate-butter mix into the sugar mix. 
6. Sift together the plain flour and cocoa powder into the brownie mix. Carefully fold them into the chocolate batter. 
7. Now you're ready to pour the mixture into the baking tray. 
8. Once poured into the baking tray, bake the brownie mix in the oven for 30min at 180c. 
9. Cut the creme eggs into halves and take out the brownie mix 5 minutes before the end and place the each halve of the creme eggs onto the brownie. 
10. Pop the brownie mix back into the oven for the remaining 5 minutes. 
11. Take out the brownie and leave to cool. If you can't wait till they're fully cooled (like me), dip a sharp knife into hot water and remove to slice and divide the brownie into small chunks.

Enjoy!
