Fudgy brownies, creamy chocolate frosting & delicious Easter candies – what’s not to love about these Mini Egg Brownies? These incredible brownies are the perfect Easter treat. 
If you’re looking for a delicious, easy, chocolate dessert for Easter – then these mini egg brownies are for you. The brownies are chewy, fudgy, and somewhat reminiscent of box-mix brownies in the best possible way. Then they’re topped with milk chocolate frosting and a sprinkling of miniature eggs.
I can’t be the only one obsessed with Cadbury Mini Eggs. The creamy milk chocolate, crunchy candy coating, pretty pastel colors – they might just be the perfect Easter candy (which is a pretty tall order if you ask me). I’ve made a few treats with mini eggs before, but since my love for mini eggs runs deep, these mini egg brownies were clearly needed.
This mini egg brownie recipe makes a big batch. We’re using both melted chocolate and cocoa powder to give them a rich chocolate flavor and fudgy texture. And best of all – the brownies can be made in just 1 bowl. 
Tips for making mini egg brownies:
- This recipe was designed to use real butter – I find that butter produces brownies with the best flavor
- I used 70% dark chocolate for these brownies. If you prefer the flavor a little less rich you could use 50% or 60% dark chocolate, or even semi-sweet
- Be very careful not to add too much flour, otherwise brownies can get dry.
- When adding the flour, gently fold it in using a rubber spatula. This helps to keep the brownies fudgy and gooey.
- Last but not least – I prefer to slightly under bake my brownies for gooier centers.
Then after the brownies are done baking, it’s time for the chocolate frosting. Simple, creamy, delicious. It’s made with butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, a touch of salt, and milk. It’s not super rich, so it works well with the brownies.
And for the final hurrah – mini eggs on top. I bashed mine with a rolling pin so that some were “hatched”, and I also had some little colored candy pieces for decoration. 
You can make these mini egg brownies for Easter to help celebrate, or even make them after Easter to use up leftover candy. Either way – you really can’t go wrong with mini eggs and brownies!
