Ingredients 

Note that this Easter egg chocolate brownie recipe uses mini eggs to create “solid chocolate” finds in the brownie.  For a smoother consistency, melt down the eggs before adding.  If you prefer, you can use walnuts with the melted Easter egg variation for some traditional brownie crunch!

200g unsalted butter
chopped chocolate (ideally dark but butcher that Elegant Rabbit if need be)
1 cup sugar
3 eggs lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons good rich cocoa powder
20-25 left over mini Easter eggs (larger eggs can be chopped down to use).

Method

Preheat oven to 180C.
Line a brownie tin with non-stick baking paper.
Heat butter, dark chocolate and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
Transfer to a heat proof bowl.
Set aside to cool slightly.
Add eggs and vanilla to chocolate mixture.
Mix well.
Sift flour and cocoa over chocolate mixture.
Stir to combine.
Pour your Easter egg chocolate brownie mixture into pan.
Press chocolate eggs into the mixture.
Bake for 15- 20 minutes or until just set.
Set aside to cool. Once cooled, lift out and dust with icing sugar.
Cut into pieces. Serve. Enjoy!
