Brownies and mini eggs, it really does not get any better than that. I honestly don’t even think I need to say more than that do I? This recipe combines all of the best things about the Easter season (in my opinion) of chocolate and mini eggs, and I know that mini eggs still count as chocolate but I still count it as something separate because of that delicious outer candy shell. You can easily crush mini eggs by placing them in a large baggie and crush them with a rolling pin – super easy!

Mix in your eggs one at a time until just combined.
In a separate medium sized bowl whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and whisk together.
Slowly add your flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined and smooth. Fold in 1 cup of your crushed mini eggs.
Evenly spread our your brownie batter into your prepared baking dish and top with remaining crushed mini eggs.
Bake your brownies for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out just clean, should have some crumbs.
Allow your brownies to cool to room temperature, slice and enjoy!
