Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper—your future self will thank you when it’s time to slice!
Mixing It Up: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should be glossy and smooth, hinting at the decadence ahead.
Add The Eggs And Vanilla: Crack in those eggs one by one while whisking vigorously. Add a splash of vanilla extract; it should smell heavenly already! Beat until fully incorporated.
Sift In The Dry Ingredients: Gently sift in cocoa powder and flour. Mix until just combined—don’t overdo it! We want our brownies soft and chewy, not tough as leather.
Add A Touch Of Color!: Fold in half of your candy-coated chocolate eggs gently into the brownie batter. This adds pops of color and surprises throughout each bite!
Bake To Perfection: Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs—not wet batter!
While cooling, sprinkle remaining candy eggs on top so they stick slightly as they set up—a beautiful display that shouts “Happy Easter!”
Now you have stunning Easy Easter Egg Brownie Bites waiting to delight everyone you know! Enjoy every moment—and every bite—of this festive treat!
