- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 100 g (½ cup) light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour

- ½ tsp salt
- 100 g (¾ cup) Cadbury mini eggs, halved or crushed
- Crumbled Chocolate Topping
- 50 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 75 g (½ cup) all-purpose flour
- 25 g (2 tbsp) light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 g (¼ cup) dark or milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 50 g (⅓ cup) Cadbury mini eggs, roughly crushed
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 23 cm (9-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- 2. Melt chocolate and butter
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- 3. Add sugars and eggs
- Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- 4. Mix dry ingredients
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold together gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- 5. Fold in mini eggs
- Fold in the halved or crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- 6. Prepare crumble topping
- For the crumble topping, mix melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl until crumbs form. Stir in the chopped chocolate and crushed mini eggs.
- 7. Add topping and bake
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the brownie batter. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).
- 8. Cool and serve
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.
