- Chocolate Brownie Base: 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped; 120 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, cubed; 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar; 100 g (½ cup) light brown sugar; 3 large eggs; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 120 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour; 30 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder; ½ tsp salt; 100 g (¾ cup) Cadbury mini eggs, halved or crushed
- Crumbled Chocolate Topping: 50 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter, melted; 75 g (½ cup) all-purpose flour; 25 g (2 tbsp) light brown sugar; 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder; 50 g (¼ cup) dark or milk chocolate, finely chopped; 50 g (⅓ cup) Cadbury mini eggs, roughly crushed
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the pan
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 23 cm (9-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Step 2: Melt chocolate and butter
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Combine wet ingredients
- Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Step 4: Add dry ingredients
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold together gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Step 5: Add mini eggs to batter
- Fold in the halved/crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Step 6: Make crumble topping
- For the crumble topping, mix melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl until crumbs form. Stir in the chopped chocolate and crushed mini eggs.
- Step 7: Add topping
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the brownie batter.
- Step 8: Bake
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).
- Step 9: Cool and serve
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the fudgiest texture, slightly underbake the brownies and allow them to cool fully before slicing—this ensures they set properly while maintaining that coveted gooey center. When melting chocolate, use gentle heat and stir frequently to prevent scorching. If your kitchen is warm, you can chill the crumble mixture briefly before sprinkling it on the batter to help it hold its shape during baking. Always line your pan with parchment paper extending up the sides; this makes removing the brownies effortless and results in cleaner cuts.

Varianten und Anpassungen
While Cadbury mini eggs are the star of this recipe, you can easily swap them for other chocolate eggs or candy-coated chocolates like M&Ms or Maltesers for different flavor profiles. For a more intense chocolate experience, use all dark chocolate in both the base and topping. If you prefer sweeter brownies, substitute milk chocolate for half the dark chocolate. Add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the crumble for extra crunch, or stir white chocolate chips into the batter for pockets of creamy sweetness.
Serviervorschläge
These brownies are delicious on their own, but serving them slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream creates an irresistible dessert that's perfect for special occasions. For an elegant presentation, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate. They're ideal for Easter brunches, spring picnics, bake sales, or as a thoughtful homemade gift. Cut into small squares for party platters, or serve larger portions as a decadent after-dinner treat with freshly brewed coffee or cold milk.
