JUMP TO RECIPE

Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies are made with melted Creme Egg, dark and milk chocolate and then decorated with halved Mini Creme Eggs. Simply the best brownie recipe I’ve ever tasted!

Last night I baked these Cadbury Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies with some odds and ends of chocolate, a Creme Egg and a pack of Mini Creme Eggs for my daughter’s school cake bake.

I hadn’t really intended to bake anything as I’d heard my hubby and daughter discussing the fact that they would bake something together so I put it out of my mind.

Then we remembered that my daughter was going to tea with a friend so there wouldn’t be time for her to bake.

This then led to hubby googling over the top cupcakes with lashings of piped buttercream.

My mind was filled with horror as I could imagine the state of the kitchen with bowls, tins and a messy piping bag left for me to clear up; plus I wasn’t keen on my entire butter reserve being depleted

Hence I got my thinking cap on and remembered that my daughter and I had bought some Cadbury Creme Eggs the day before.

After toying with the idea of cupcakes I decided that Creme Egg Brownies were the way forward.

For an extra touch of awesomeness I decided to melt the large Creme Egg into the mixture for that extra bit of gooey, chewiness. The Mini Creme Eggs were split and used to decorate the top.

Well I don’t think there are enough words to describe quite how delectable these Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies were, did I mention the milk chocolate chunks?

Suffice to say no-one here actually wanted to let the Creme Egg Brownies leave the house after sampling. Indeed my daughter left the cake tin behind this morning – an accident she said!

I duly took the brownies into school at pick-up time and watched the squares of deliciousness being snapped up at the bake sale.

As my son had said he would like to come with me to buy back the brownies, I bought the last 2 slices.  Well it was a win/win situation wasn’t it!

It’s half term next week so I’ve promised to make some more Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies!

Why don’t you make some too or even better get the kids to help! You won’t be disappointed but maybe avoid if you’re on a diet, as health food they are not!

    Despite finding most of my childhood chocolate favourites way too sweet for me these days, I still have a secret passion for creme eggs. So I think I might just have to treat myself this Easter and make your heavenly brownies.

    So delicious! The perfect Easter treat, I love the gooeyness of the cream eggs along with the fudginess of the brownies.

    This tastes amazing, but both times I’ve made it, it’s taken a lot longer than 30 mins. Every time I check it, it’s still wobbly.

    When it’s cooked for that long, the shape of the creme eggs disappears. It still delicious though!

      Hi Kate, perhaps my oven is different to yours and running at a different temperature? I think this is why oven thermometers exist.

    So easy to make, unless a 13 year old is taking the wrappers off the mini Crème eggs! They were gooey and delicious. Highly recommended. Try them warm with cream and ice cream! Mmmmmm

    They look great! I hope the poorer quality chocolate Cadbury’s are using this year (not Cadbury’s Dairy Milk) doesn’t detract….

    Adore creme eggs!! This recipe is just asking to be made ASAP- especially as the texture looks perfect which is always the pressure point of brownies! SophiaXx

    Ooh! I’ve never baked with creme eggs before but these look fab Camilla! Great idea and I don’t think it’ll be long before they make an appearance in our kitchen.

      Thanks Emily, yes at the back of my mind I think I’ve seen this done with big cream eggs which is just a bit too OTT for me – these are bad enough LOL!
