Notes
- Baking Pans - You can use either a metal or glass baking pan. However, if you use a glass baking pan it is suggested to reduce the temperature so that the brownies bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- How to check if brownies are done - Insert a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan. The toothpick should come out almost clean. That is how you will know that the brownies are done.
- For Cake like Brownies - Depending on your mix will depend on the consistency. However, if your brownie mix only requires 1 egg you can add an additional egg and this will give you more cake like brownies. Always read your box prior to baking.
- Frosted Brownies - If you want to get very creative you can add additional toppings on to the brownies. You can pipe "green grass" frosting on top of the cooked brownies, and lay the eggs on top of the brownies if you prefer.
- Mini Chocolate Eggs - Cadbury and Hershey's make mini chocolate eggs.
- Recipe testing - This recipe was made and tested using Betty Crocker Supreme Original Brownie Mix and Hershey mini chocolate eggs.
