Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups 250g granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup 150g brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup 125g all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup 75g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup 170g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup 150g pastel-colored candy-coated chocolate eggs (such as Cadbury Mini Eggs), crushed
  • 1/2 cup 50g mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  • Make the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and half of the crushed candy-coated eggs.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy eggs and mini marshmallows (if using) on top.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake!
  • Cool & Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra Gooey Brownies: Reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes for extra fudgy brownies.
  • Nutty Twist: Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
  • Frosted Brownies: Top with a layer of chocolate frosting or drizzle with melted white chocolate for an extra decadent touch.
  • Make it Festive: Use pastel-colored sprinkles for a more Easter-themed look.
