RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Use a good quality chocolate – it makes a big difference to the flavour.
Don’t overbake the brownies – they should be flaky on top but still slightly gooey in the centre.
Cut the Creme Eggs carefully – use a sharp serrated knife for neat halves.
Freeze the Creme Eggs first – this makes them much easier to cut and helps them hold their shape while baking.
Let brownies cool before slicing – warm brownies will fall apart.
For neat slices, chill the brownies in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Freeze brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before serving.
