Instructions
- 1.
- 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.

- 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.
- 4.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold together gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- 5.
- Fold in the halved/crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

- 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).

- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For a more gooey texture, slightly underbake the brownies and allow them to cool fully in the pan before slicing. Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb. Using parchment paper with an overhang ensures easy removal and clean edges.

Feel free to swap Cadbury mini eggs for your favorite candy-coated chocolates or other chocolate eggs to customize the flavor and appearance.
