Ingredients
- 4 oz semi-sweet baker’s chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini eggs (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chopped baker’s chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until melted.
- Whisk It Up:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, then whisk vigorously for 5 minutes until the mixture turns lighter in color and fluffy.
- Incorporate the Chocolate:
- Pour the melted chocolate into the mixture and whisk until fully combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gently fold with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Mini Egg Magic:
- Fold in 1 cup of mini eggs.
- Spread the batter evenly into the lined pan and sprinkle extra mini eggs on top, pressing them slightly into the batter.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake for 28 minutes or until the center is just set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake and let the brownies cool completely before cutting.
- You can substitute mini eggs with chocolate chunks or crushed candy-coated chocolates.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between slices.
