Creme Egg Brownies

Creme Egg Brownies

Mmm… it must be Easter because I’ve made Creme Egg Brownies – a family favourite for a number of years.

These brownies are based on the mint ones I made last week (I seem to have a bit of a brownie ‘thing’ at the moment).  They are chewy and moist but slightly crispy on the top and very delicious!

These are a favourite of my children.  My youngest one is finishing primary school this week and goes to an after school club there.  He wanted to take some brownies to share with the other children and also give to the teachers for a gift.

First I creamed together soft, light brown sugar and butter.

Then I beat in the eggs and folded in some plain flour, baking powder and cocoa.  Once these were all well combined I added some chopped up dark chocolate for extra flavour.  If you prefer you can add white or milk chocolate, dried cherries, fresh raspberries or a combination of these.

On this occasion I made extra mixture so I had enough for one big tray of brownies and 3 smaller ones to give as gifts.  The trays for the smaller gift brownies are made of coated cardboard and can be used to bake the brownies – they are excellent.

The finished brownies have a glossy slightly crunchy top with a moist sticky inside – yum!
