Making the perfect brownies from scratch couldn't be easier, especially if you follow Love Food Feed's super easy step-by-step recipe below. To make these Easter egg brownies, start by adding melted butter and dark chocolate, then add them to a mixing bowl with sugar and whisk until combined.

Lastly, add in chocolate chips, Mini eggs, and give your brownie mix one last mix.

Chocolate Brownies

Did you know that there are three main types of chocolate brownie textures? Cakey texture is the first, which is normally made with less fat and more flour, making them light, airy, moist, and very cake-like. The second is the fudgy brownie recipe, which is my favorite. Fudgey brownies are moist and denser than cakey brownies. They have a texture a lot like fudge when you bite into them. Last but not least is the chewy brownie recipe; these brownie recipes normally have double the amount of butter and sugar compared to the cakey brownies. The extra fat from the butter gives this chewy, gooey, and very dense brownie its structure and rich taste. I find that the chewy brownie recipe is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and eaten with a spoon.

Notes

Tips & Tricks
If using a microwave to melt your chocolate, microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir the chocolate with a spatula in between each 30-second cooking time until all the chocolate has melted.
Wait for the brownies to be fully cooled before cutting into squares, if you try and cut them when warm they can stick to your knife and break.
The brownies with last for about 4 to 5 days in an airtight container or cake tin at room temperature.
