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.

I added an extra two creme eggs to this recipe as I had them and wanted to make sure there was lots of creme Egg gooeyness in these brownies.

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.

With creme eggs being in all the shops now I would definitely recommend getting some to make these delicious brownies.
