Creme Egg Brownies – so easy

Oh I love a soft, gooey, squiggly brownie do you?  Well how about all that PLUS a cream egg baked in each brownie?  Well welcome to my Easy Creme Egg Brownies.

A lovely easy recipe  AND if you follow the instructions and freeze your creme eggs it’s simple and stunning 

So how do you eat yours? I eat mine in brownies 😉 

You can use other chocolate eggs too – but again freeze them first 

And don’t do what I did the first time, I froze them whole and ended up nearly losing a finger as I tried to cut them in half!!

So half them carefully first before the freezer 

 

How to make Creme Egg Brownies

So here we go:

Step 1 – Freeze your Creme Eggs 

Carefully cut your creme eggs in half with a knife (be careful) and pop on a tray and  in the freezer for 2 hours so they are solid. This is really important else you will end up with a melted mess 

 

 

Step 2 to the best Brownies 

Melt your chocolare and butter together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water – leave to cool 

Whisk your eggs and sugar until light & fluffy 

Then fold in your flour, cocoa powder and milk chocolate chunks

 

Step 3 – into the tin 

Once you’ve poured your batter in you greased and lined tin, pop you frozen creme egg halves over the surface

I used 12 halves 

Step 4 – Bake those Creme Egg Brownies 

Bake as per instructions on the recipe card below 

NOW this is the hard bit, leave them in the tin to cool overnight and set!! I know but if you font you’ll have a real mess! 

They have a classic brownie paper top, soft and squiggly, fudgey, middle and so packed with chocolate, they are amazing.

Oh and very Easypeasylemonsqueezy!

Let them go cold before you cut them.

They tend to firm up on day 2 – if they last that long!

 

 

 

Paper Top Easy Chocolate Brownies

I have made them time and time again. They are such a favourite with everyone who makes them.

Indulgent and so chocolatey, squidgy and fudgey!!  

Perfect for Easter time, also super useful to just up all those Creme Eggs left over after the Easter egg hunt 

Not the healthiest but it’s about moderation isn’t it? BALANCE

It’s fine every now and then, isn’t it?! I think as long as you’re sensible and have them occasionally it’s ok? 

 

To serve your Easy Chocolate Brownies 

Serve on their own,  with a cuppa – delicious! 

You could also serve them as a pudding maybe – warm with ice cream or cream

You can even pop them cold into a lunch box as a little treat!

Also I take them on picnics wrapped in brown paper and popped in some Tupperware. 

They are lovely packed up as a prezzie!

I do this a lot as a food blogger 

It’s so nice to received handmade brownies!

Go on have a go….. pop them in a little clear cake bag and tie them up with a ribbon

Enjoy!

 

How long will my Easter Brownies keep? 

I tend to make the brownies the day before we are going to consume, then it’s nice and fresh and they have firmed up too

If there’s any left (not often) then I store it in an airtight tin and it’s good for 3-4 days or so 

 

Can you freeze chocolate Easter brownies?  

Yes, yes you can 

What I would do is freeze  them after  cutting them into portions, when they are completely cold

I then wrap them in  baking paper (as they are sticky. Then pop them into a container and freeze for up to 3 months

When you want them, simply defrost at room temperature and enjoy. You can almso warm them too as a dessert with ice cream or cream 

 

So have you heard of Blondies, Brownies sisters?

Blondies are often considered to be brownies without chocolate??? Both Blondies and brownies are very popular in the USA. 

But blondies are a dessert / cake with their own unique deliciousness and personality.

Whereas brownies depend on chocolate for their flavor, for blondies it’s all about the brown sugar, giving the blondies their distinctive molasses flavor.

Have you ever made blondies?
