Ingredients
BROWNIES
- 1 cup butter cold or soft, salted
- 2 cups sugar I used natural cane sugar
- 4 egg whole
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder regular or dark, I used regular for this recipe
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Whoppers malted milk balls chopped
FROSTING (Optional)
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder rounded
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- pinch salt
TOPPING
- 1 robin eggs candy crushed, large handful
- Whoppers malted milk balls or regular, leftover
Instructions
BROWNIES
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper, then spray with oil or just spray pan with oil.
- Melt butter in medium saucepan, remove from heat. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder, stirring after each addition. Gently stir in chocolate chips and chopped Whopper Eggs.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Brownies will settle and even sink as they cool. Edges should just start pulling away from sides of pan and the center should no longer be glossy.
- Prepare frosting and pour onto warm brownies.
FROSTING & ASSEMBLY
- Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in cocoa powder, remove from heat. Whisk in powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and pinch of salt. Once smooth, pour over warm or cooled brownies and let cool completely.
- Cool frosted brownies for 15-20 minutes then sprinkle crushed Robin Eggs and Whole leftover Whoppers on top. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack. Once cooled, I find it easiest to freeze or refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes, then cut into squares.
- Using the parchment paper, remove entire pan of brownies from pan and place on cutting board. Cut into 2" squares. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for 1 week or freeze individual wrapped squares for lunch box treats or quick snacks. ENJOY! Happy Easter!
