Creme Egg Brownies
Report
These Creme Egg Brownies have 'addictive' written all over them! Super easy to make, rich and fudgy - everything a good brownie ought to be! Put the Creme Eggs in the fridge while you prepare the brownie batter – it will make them easier to slice.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) 160°C (325°F) Fan Setting. Line a 9×9 inch brownie tin with baking paper letting the edges hang over the edge.
- Put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until melted. Alternatively you can use the double boiler method: place the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and the chocolate and butter to melt gradually. Allow to cool slightly.
- Put the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract in large bowl and beat vigorously together using a balloon whisk until frothy.
- Stir in the melted chocolate/butter mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the batter until no dry streaks remain. You should have a glossy thick batter.
- Take the Creme Eggs out of the fridge and split 5 of them in half lengthwise – these will be used to top the brownies. Roughly chop the remaining Creme Eggs (you will have one extra half which you can chop up or eat!).
- Gently fold the chopped Creme Eggs into the brownie batter.
- Spread the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the tin from the oven and gently press the 9 halved Creme Eggs into the brownie batter. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes os until the edges are set but the middle is still a little squidgy.
- Pull the brownies out of the tin using the baking paper and allow to cool on a wire rack. Do not slice while they are still warm – they will very likely fall apart!
- Mix the icing sugar, vanilla extract, food colouring (if using) and enough water to make a pourable icing. Drizzle over the brownies and cut into small squares. Tottally addictive!
