Who loves brownies? šš»
If you love chocolate and Easter eggs, then these are the brownies for YOU! Ooey, gooey brownies that have Cadbury Creme Eggs IN the batter and on top!
They are over-the-top in the best kind of way. If you’ve been looking for an easy Easter treat to try, you can’t go past these deliciously rich Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies!
It’s that time of year again when it is all about those Easter treats. Already this week, we’ve had a showstopper Speckled Egg PiƱata Cake and now these oh-so-good chocolate brownies.
I wanted these brownies to be ALL about the Creme Egg. So not only are there giant Creme Eggs baked into the top of these brownies but there are a whole heap of mini Creme Eggs thrown into the batter too. Umm yes please!
These brownies are totally fudgy and bursting with chocolate –Ā so a small serving goes a long way. But hey, Easter comes but once a year, am I right? So you NEED to make these brownies stat!
How has your week been? I’ve been at the studio for work this week, baking up a storm. In one day, I made 5 cakes, a pudding, two batches of cupcakes and a slice. It’s was a BIG day but I loved every minute of it. But now it’s brownie time!

Gooey Cadbury Creme Egg BrowniesĀ that have creme eggs IN the batter and on top!
Ingredients
- 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, chopped
- 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) good quality dark chocolate, pieces
- 100 grams (1/2 cup)Ā caster sugar
- 90 grams (1/2 cup)Ā brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 85 grams (2/3 cup) plain flour
- 100 grams (1/2 cup) mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, chopped
- 3 large Cadbury Creme Eggs, cut in half
Instructions
- Grease and line a square 8 inch cake tin with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides of the paper overhang.Ā Pop the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place over a medium saucepan that is filled with a bit of water, say 5cm (2 inches) high or so. You need to ensure the bottom of the bowl will not touch the water below. Place on the stove on medium heat and stir while the chocolate and butter melt. Once the mixture is lovely and smooth, remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 160 C (320 F). Next, add the sugar and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and beat with an electric beater until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat again. Then sift in the flour and beat until the brownie mixture is smooth. Add your chopped mini Creme Eggs. Pour the brownie mixture into your prepared tin and smooth the top.
- Bake the brownie for about 25 minutes, then gently pop the large Creme eggs on top and press them slightly into the brownie. Pop the brownie back into the oven for an additional 20 minutes or until the brownie no longer wobbles in the middle. Leave to cool completely.
Notes
The brownie can be hard to cut with the chocolate eggs on top, so it is best to leave it to cool completely before serving. Or even pop into the fridge for a few hours before slicing.

This is my go to brownie recipe, I love it! I have also tried chocolate chip and salted caramel instead of the creme eggs and chocolate chips and marshmallows. It is such an easy brownie base recipe the possibilities are endless! Canāt wait to try putting other things in too š
★★★★★
Aw awesome!! So glad you love it Natalie!! I love the idea of using salted caramel – yum!!
In love with this recipe, it makes rich gooey brownies that taste amazing. I had some left over twisted creme egg chocolates from Easter, so I used these as an alternative and it worked out great! Thank you for sharing

Aww I love hearing that! So glad you enjoyed them Carly! ā¤ļø
Hi is it ok to use creme egg twisted minis instead of mini creme eggs?
Hi Jess, we donāt have those in Australia so Iām not sure – sorry!
Iām half way through this and donāt have plain flour just self raising does this matter
Hi Maddi, self-raising flour has a raising agent in it so it will later the results slightly – it should still be delicious though!
Hi, does it matter if we dont have the vanilla extract in.
Hi Liam, itās fine to leave out the vanilla āŗļø
Think Iāve done this recipe before but just found it again and looking at making at some point but Iām noticing a lack of raising agent (no s/r flour, bi carb or baking powder)??? If someone sees this in the mean time a reply would be great but if not, weāll see what happens š

Hi Mark! Thatās right, I donāt use a raising agent in this brownie recipe āŗļø Hope you enjoy them!
Iām on the process of making these just now and they smell INCREDIBLE. Canāt wait to try them! Thanks for the easy to follow recipe.

Hi Rebecca, awesome! Thank you for the lovely comment. I hope you enjoyed the brownies! Happy Easter!
Hi Jessica, would you recommend making these a day in advance to really set or is on the day better? Thanks!
Hi Cecilia, thank you for your comment. it’s really up to you. These brownies keep really well, so you could definitely make them 1 or 2 days in advance. If you make them on the day, just leave yourself a couple of hours so they can firm up a little. They still taste great when they come out of the oven, they’re just a little bit more fragile š I hope you love them!
Still to try my brownies as they are cooking still. Mine seem to of taken quite a bit longer but Iām using gas. They smell amazing though Kate -cornwall

Hi Katy, thanks for the feedback. I hope you enjoy them! They are quite gooey brownies but they will firm up slightly upon cooling. Hope you enjoy them!
Cadbury creme eggs are my favourite – love these brownies!
