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 + more for adding on top
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat your oven to 350° F, and grease or line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Melt chocolate. Chop 4 oz semi-sweet baker’s chocolate into small pieces and place them into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stopping to mix with a spoon, until fully melted.
- Combine butter and sugar. In a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup melted, salted butter and 1 cup white sugar and whisk until well combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Add in 2 large room temperature eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk vigorously for about 5 minutes or until light in color and has volume.
- Incorporate melted chocolate. Add the melted chocolate to the mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
- Sift dry ingredients. Using a fine sifter, sift in 3/4 cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled), 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in mini eggs. Once mixed, gently fold in 1 cup mini eggs.
- Prepare batter in pan. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, and spread it in an even layer. Sprinkle extra eggs over the top and press them slightly into the batter.
- Bake. Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool before serving. Let the brownies cool completely before removing them from the pan or slicing.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Letting the brownies cool completely ensures clean slices.
