Ingredients
-
* 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
* 1 cup dark chocolate pieces, roughly chopped (I used the Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bars)
* 4 eggs
* 1 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup flour
* 1/4 cup cocoa powder
* 6 Cadbury Creme Eggs, halved
Tips
*Cook's Note: the Cadbury UK Facebook page says brownies will be done within 5 to 10 minutes, but when Christina and I pulled them out of the oven, they needed an additional 10, at least. Be sure to check brownies at 10 minutes and go from there (I suggest 5-minutes at a time). Your brownies may be "done" at 10, 15, or 20 minutes. Again, stove times will vary.
Directions
1.) Preheat oven to 350F and line baking pan with parchment paper. Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil (filled about half way). When boiling, place heat-safe stainless steal bowl over water, resting bowl within the pan. Add butter and chocolate pieces, slowly whisking together as they melt from exposure to the heat. When fully melted (and incorporated), remove chocolate from heat and bring to room temperature.
2.) In a standing mixer (or, using a hand-held beater), combine eggs with sugar and beat until pale yellow and doubled in size (about five to eight minutes, depending on speed; I used low-medium speed for my KitchenAid, "Cinnamon").
3.) Add cooled chocolate to eggs/sugar and mix until just combined. Add flour and cocoa powder to a hand-held sifter and sift in dry ingredients. Turn on mixer and combine batter until dark brown (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Stop, scrape down sides of bowl, and mix one last time until fully incorporated (about 15 to 20 seconds).
4.) Pour batter into parchment-lined baking pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is beginning to set, but still jiggles when you shake the pan. Meanwhile, halve 6 Cadbury Creme Eggs and reserve for brownies.
5.) When brownies have begun to set, remove from oven and gently press halved eggs (creme-side up) evenly across the pan. Return to oven and bake until a knife comes out clean (about 10 to 20 minutes, as stove times will vary).*
6.) Remove from oven, cool, and serve in 12-egg-sized pieces (if feeling decadent). Servings can easily be halved for lower-calorie pieces.
