Cadbury Egg Chocolate Brownies (Printable)

Fudgy chocolate brownies with Cadbury mini eggs and a crunchy, crumbled chocolate topping.

# What You Need:

→ Chocolate Brownie Base

01 - 7 oz dark chocolate, chopped
02 - ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - ½ cup light brown sugar
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - ½ teaspoon salt
10 - ¾ cup Cadbury mini eggs, halved or crushed

→ Crumbled Chocolate Topping

11 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
12 - ½ cup all-purpose flour
13 - 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
14 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
15 - ¼ cup dark or milk chocolate, finely chopped
16 - ⅓ cup Cadbury mini eggs, roughly crushed

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
03 - Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold together gently until just combined—do not overmix.
05 - Fold in the halved or crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
06 - Mix melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl until crumbs form. Stir in the chopped chocolate and crushed mini eggs.
07 - Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the brownie batter.
08 - Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for fudgy brownies.
09 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between dense, fudgy brownie and crunchy chocolate topping keeps you coming back for another bite before you've even swallowed the first.
  • Those Cadbury eggs melt slightly into the batter, creating little bursts of sweetness that feel like a hidden treasure with every forkful.
  • It's surprisingly simple to throw together, yet looks and tastes like you spent your whole afternoon in the kitchen.
02 -
  • That skewer test is everything: it should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, not clean and not wet, or you'll either have a cake or a puddle.
  • Underbaking slightly and letting them cool fully actually gives you more fudgy decadence than pulling them out at perfect doneness, so trust your instincts toward the shorter baking time.
03 -
  • Don't skip cooling the chocolate mixture slightly before adding eggs—if it's too hot, you'll scramble them and create little cooked bits in your batter.
  • The crumble topping is forgiving and flexible, so if you want it extra chocolatey, reduce the flour and add more cocoa powder or extra chopped chocolate.
