Is it just me or is every holiday just creeping up on you and then passing you by? Valentines Day anyone? Seriously that one just past me by then Mothers Day, again it just went by and now its Easter in a really short time. So I thought I had better get some Easter treats out to you guys, and I am starting with these super simple Easy Cadburys Cream Egg Brownies. Easy to put together, really chocolaty and packed full of everyones favourite little Easter treat.
This is my super simple go-to brownie recipe that requires only one bowl to make and can pretty much have anything you fancy adder to it. Fruits, nuts or more chocolate! If I want a quick brownie fix these are the ones I make. I made these last year with cadburys cream eggs but ate them all so never shared them….. opps my bad! But I remembered to this year and you know what the amazing thing about these bad boys is? As all the fondant melts into the batter it makes them taste even more like cadburys cream eggs. Heaven!!!
Making these brownies even more gooey and fudgy than normal. Now what more can a person ask for in a brownie. But as with most brownies if you prefer yours a little more cake like just give them an extra 5 minutes in the oven and they will firm up a little more giving you something more cake like. I like mine in-between, I like fudgy but I also like to be able to pick them up with my fingers. What can I say I am a girl who wants it all.
I love these super simple recipes, we all have them for different dishes and if its all in one bowl all the better. I have a dishwasher and I still hate dishes, because half of my baking dishes need to be washed by hand…. Seriously? So that’s why I love easy bakes like these.
I just wanted to quickly apologise if I have seemed a little flakey recently with my posting schedule and getting out to read other blogs, in the New Year I decided to head back to University for the second time. This time to study Psychology and this has been taking up quite a bit of my spare time recently. Things should settle down a little bit now that I have gotten back into the groove of studying again. Luckily its through the Open University (a correspondence University for my non UK friends) so I am still able to keep my full time job and run this blog! Lots to do but I much prefer to be busy, busy, busy! Hopefully these Easy Cadburys Cream Egg Brownies will make up for it!
Easy Cadburys Cream Egg Brownies

What a super idea for an Easter treat! I put some of the mini eggs into a cookie cake, but brownies sound marvelous, too!
Hi Liz, thank you. That cookie cake sounds great!

Hi Angie, thank you, that’s the great thing about this recipe it’s very adaptable to any add-in’s.
You just can’t go wrong with a creme egg brownie!
Very true 😀
How many calories you think is in one brownie Emma? Grrrrrr, I’m on a diet, but I know the kiddos will absolutely go crazy for these, especially since it is Easter time and those cream eggs can be found everywhere!
The amount of willpower I am going to have to use to stop myself from eating 1….2 when they are finished is going to be difficult! 🙁
Hi Janene, I don’t count calories because it just depresses me too much so I don’t put them on my site. But I do understand your pain with dieting and self control. Here is my best trick that I use all the time. With the things I make, once tested and photographed I put everything in a tin and give it all away to friends, family and neighbours. Out of sight out of mind. So I get a treat and I get to share those treats as well to spread a little baking love 🙂
