Cadbury Mini Egg Easter Brownies
These super chocolatey brownies are great to celebrate Easter, while getting your chocolate fix! You can make leading up to Easter or to make after with some leftover candy too. (Candy you buy on sale, def tastes better right?!)
I love these brownies because they are incredible rich and fudgy, yet have a great texture from the crushed up candy coated chocolate. Undeniably, these are one of my favorite brownies I make.
Basically, Cadbury Mini Eggs are one of the best Easter candies out there. So it would be natural to incorporate them into another treat to make something that is undoubtedly mind blowing. At least my kids think I am pretty awesome when I make these.
You start making the brownies by crushing up a bag of these candy coated chocolate pieces.
I find that it is easiest to cover the bag with a towel and then just crush them with a rolling pin, but a mallet works just as well too.
In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter. I suggest doing it in 15 second intervals in your microwave. Set aside to cool.
Next, beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
Mix in the flour until just combined. Then, fold in yogurt and half of the crushed mini eggs.
Pour the brownie batter into a prepared 9×9 pan. Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy pieces on top of the brownie batter.
Bake the brownies until tooth pick that is inserted into the center comes out clean approximately 35 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting and enjoying.
Cadbury Mini Egg Easter Brownies are the perfect sweet treat to enjoy. It’s a good thing the Easter Bunny likes carrots so you can enjoy enjoy these all yourself!

Cadbury mini eggs are one of my favorite things about Easter! I’m sure I would like them just as much incorporated into a brownie recipe 🙂
These look fun to make! X
I would probably eat that whole tray. Then feel horribly guilty/happy 🙂
