This is an eggstra easy, eggstra chocolatey and eggstra decadent treat. These brownies combine everything I love about Easter, Mini Eggs, Mini Chocolate Eggs and chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate! Now, I’ve used Mini Salted Caramel Eggs because I think the saltiness of the caramel cuts through the richness of the brownie nicely, but you can use whatever mini chocolate filled eggs you have to hand.

Talking of eggs, do put the filled eggs of your choosing into the freezer either overnight or a few hours before baking, this will help them hold their shape during the bake. No one wants a fried egg, not in their brownie anyway!

I was planning to cut these brownies into 16 pieces (working on the premise less is more,) with one chocolate egg in every piece but when I opened the packet of Mini Salted Caramel eggs, there were only 11, and that was without me even testing one! What a weird number! It just so happened that I had one left over Mini Creme Egg so that saved the day, so I was able to cut the baked brownies into 12 squares. No one was sad about it, because we get more brownie for each bite. If you want to nest an egg in every square of brownie, just be sure to get 2 x 130g bags of mini chocolate eggs. That way you will have enough for the brownies and plenty to ‘taste test’ too. Win, win! What do you love most about Easter" What are your favourite kind of mini eggs"
