Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Silicone Spatula
  • Parchment Paper
  • 9 x 9 Baking Pan
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce Brownie Mix
  • 1 Egg
  • ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Water
  • 1 cup Mini Chocolate Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl stir together the brownie mix, water, oil, and egg until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  • Line a 9 x 9 square metal baking dish with parchment paper. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Then pour batter into the prepared pan. Next, top the brownie batter with half the mini chocolate eggs.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven, press the remaining mini chocolate eggs into the brownies and let rest about 30 minutes before cutting/serving.

Notes

  • Baking Pans - You can use either a metal or glass baking pan. However, if you use a glass baking pan it is suggested to reduce the temperature so that the brownies bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • How to check if brownies are done - Insert a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan. The toothpick should come out almost clean. That is how you will know that the brownies are done.
  • For Cake like Brownies - Depending on your mix will depend on the consistency. However, if your brownie mix only requires 1 egg you can add an additional egg and this will give you more cake like brownies. Always read your box prior to baking.
  • Frosted Brownies - If you want to get very creative you can add additional toppings on to the brownies. You can pipe "green grass" frosting on top of the cooked brownies, and lay the eggs on top of the brownies if you prefer.
  • Mini Chocolate Eggs - Cadbury and Hershey's make mini chocolate eggs.
  • Recipe testing - This recipe was made and tested using Betty Crocker Supreme Original Brownie Mix and Hershey mini chocolate eggs.
