Rich, fudgy brownies with gooey Cadbury Mini Egg fondant centers that create a molten surprise in every bite. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted (use gluten-free blend if needed)
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 12 Cadbury Mini Eggs, whole

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is shiny and a bit thick.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Nestle the Cadbury Mini Eggs evenly spaced across the batter layer, giving each egg room.
  8. Spoon the remaining batter over the eggs, gently covering them but leaving a few eggs peeking through.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and the center looks slightly wobbly. A toothpick inserted near an edge should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  10. Remove from oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to allow the gooey fondant centers to firm up.
  11. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice into 12 squares and serve.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy. Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter. Watch bake time closely to avoid dry brownies. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to prevent fondant from leaking. If batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk. Tent pan with foil if edges bake too quickly.
