Recipe: Cadbury Creme Eggs “Brookies”
I love Easter candy. I love it more than any other “holiday”-themed candy. I believe it’s because of Cadbury Creme Eggs. I saw this beautiful recipe with the words CADBURY CREME EGGS floating through my Pinterest page, and I knew I had to share it. I know there are others like me out there with a deep love for these creme-filled wonders. HUGE THANK YOU to House of Yumm for this recipe. She has tons more recipes, so go check them out!!!!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 brownie mix-ingredients needed per brownie mix
- 1 package of miniature Cadbury Creme Eggs foil wrapped eggs with the creme inside (NOT the bag of mini chocolate eggs!)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare brownie mix according to the directions on the package and pour into greased 9″ square baking pan.
- Chop up Cadbury eggs into random sizes and shapes then set them aside.
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda in a separate small bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugars until creamy. Add in the egg to the mixture and beat until it is mixed in fully.
- Slowly add in flour mixture from the small bowl and stir until combined. Add in the mini chocolate chips and chopped up Cadbury eggs then stir together evenly.
- Add the newly combined cookie dough as evenly as you can into the baking dish on top of the brownies. BE CAREFUL! You won’t be able to really spread it to even it out since the dough is thicker than the brownie mix.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool, cut, and enjoy!
