Creme Egg Brownies

Easter is a long way off but my friend has been telling me about how she has a fridge full of creme eggs since well forever (since Easter last year).

I tell her all the time to give me some so that I can make brownies. Finally she said she would give me some of her creme eggs and I have been thinking about creme Egg Brownies for a long time. These brownies are super fudgy in the middle but the outside has a nice crust to it.

The creme eggs do crystallize a little bit when they are cooked but you still get a chewy center when you bite into them. These brownies are definitely one slice and that’s enough to hit the sweet spot.
