Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.
Step 1 - Melt
Melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth and all lumps of chocolate and butter have disappeared.
Step 2 - Mix
Add the egg, vanilla and sugar and mix together.
Step 3 - Fold
Sift the flour over the top of the mixture. Add the salt and fold through gently until just combined.
Step 4 - Decorate

Tips For Cooking Brownies
A chocolate brownie should have a crispy flakey top, but a dense, rich and moist filling. This Cadbury creme egg brownie recipe will give you those perfect brownies... every single time!
When cooking the brownies, it's important not to overcook them. Once they've got that lovely flakey top and a skewer comes out with a few sticky crumbs on it, they're ready.
The contrast of the crunchy caramel and oozy creme eggs pairs perfectly with the rich and fudgy dark chocolate brownies. Absolutely DELICIOUS!
More Expert Tips
Choose a good quality chocolate as it is a major ingredient in this recipe. The better the chocolate, the better your brownies will be.
You will need a microwave, a stovetop or a Thermomix to melt the butter and chocolate.
All ovens are slightly different so it's important to keep an eye on your brownies so they don't overcook. The brownies are ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with a smear of moist crumbs on it.
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.

These look sooo good! Can't wait to make them up for my daughter to give her a first good taste of something sweet!
Lucy says
Oh I hope she loves them!
Karen says
I know this is an older post, but have just stumbled across this recipe saved in my fave recipe app and am dying to give it a go! Just wanted to ask first, do the chopped up Creme Eggs go in gooey side up, or gooey side down? Hard to tell from the pics 🙂
Thanks in advance!
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Karen, I tend to do gooey side up but it doesnt really matter! xx
Emma says
I made these tonight, baked until the top was dry and pale brown (30 mins) but the inside was still really runny. Baked for a further 15 mins and although the brownie is firmer it's still very runny...hoping it hardens up overnight (unlikely right?) any thoughts on what I might have done wrong?
Side note: even though it doesn't look pretty, it tastes amazing...here's hoping it's a hit at tomorrow's Easter lunch at work.
Bake Play Smile says
Hmm thats very strange Emma! It could be because all ovens are slightly different. My bet is that they will have firmed up by the morning. Hehe glad the mixture still tastes amazing!
