    How to Make These Brownies

    Start by preheating your oven to 350F and line a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. The parchment paper should over hang on the edges slightly to allow you to easily remove the brownies from the pan.

    Chop the bakers chocolate and place in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave by stopping and stirring the chocolate in 20 second increments.

    In a large mixing bowl combine melted butter and sugar and whisk by hand until well combined. This usually takes 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Vigorously whisk until mixture is light and colour and has volume. This usually takes a good 5 minutes.

    Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Using a rubber spatula mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Do not over mix.

    Pour batter into the lined pan and spread evenly. Top with some extra mini eggs, press them slightly into the batter.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Storing the Brownies

    Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature, they keep for well for four days after baking.

    Do I Need to Use Room Temperature Eggs?

    Yes, you do. Room temperature eggs allows the eggs to break down easier in the batter. It also allows more air to enter the eggs while whisking.

    How Do I Get a Shiny Brownie Top?

    The shiny top comes from breaking down the eggs. Once you add your room temperature eggs into the batter whisk vigorously for a good 5 minutes. The batter will become light in colour and thicker in viscosity.

      These are really delicious! I think next time I will pair the dark chocolate mini eggs I used with a dark chocolate bar (vs semisweet). Perfect Easter treat!
