Storage/Reheating

Store leftover Cadbury Egg Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days.

FAQs

Can I use regular eggs instead of Cadbury Creme Eggs?

While the Cadbury Creme Eggs are the star of this recipe, you can experiment with other chocolate candies or marshmallow-filled candies, but the signature gooeyness will be different.

Do I have to use parchment paper for the baking pan?

Parchment paper makes it easier to remove the brownies from the pan and ensures clean edges. You can skip it, but you may need to grease the pan well to avoid sticking.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

The brownies should be baked until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy. A few moist crumbs sticking to the toothpick are perfect.

Can I add other types of candy?

Absolutely! You can experiment with other candy-filled chocolates or swap the Cadbury Eggs for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, mini Snickers, or other fun candy fillings.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

To make this recipe dairy-free, swap the butter with dairy-free butter or coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Ensure that the Cadbury Creme Eggs are replaced with a dairy-free alternative (if available).

How do I keep the brownies from getting too dry?

Avoid overbaking the brownies. Keep an eye on them, and check with a toothpick a few minutes before the recommended baking time to ensure they’re done. The brownies should be soft and moist inside, especially with the Cadbury Creme Egg filling.

Conclusion

These Cadbury Egg Brownies are the perfect way to indulge in the flavors of Easter while satisfying your chocolate cravings.
