RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Chocolate Eggs - In this recipe, I have used plain solid chocolate eggs. If you prefer, you can substitute with mini filled eggs (such as caramel, Turkish Delight, peppermint etc).
Brownies are best stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They're at their very best during the first 3 days but will keep for up to 5 days.
If you have leftovers or you're prepping ahead of time, you can always freeze the brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Gluten Free Option - simply follow my gluten-free chocolate brownie recipe and then stir the mini solid eggs through before baking.
