Rich, fudgy mini egg brownies topped with crunchy shells; the perfect mix of soft, gooey and crisp! The kind of bake that disappears so fast that sometimes they don't reach my kitchen table!
Preheat oven to 180° fan / 400F or Gas Mark 6 and line a 9x12" tin with baking paper
In a large bowl add 235 g Salted Butter, 150 g Dark Chocolate, 150 g Milk Chocolate, ½ Teaspoon Salt and ½ Teaspoon Instant coffee then microwave for 1 minute & then mix, then for a further 30 seconds (may need a further 30s if lower power microwave. Can also use a Bain Marie, over simmering water until fully melted)
Add in both 295 g Caster Sugar and 85 g Dark Brown Sugar and mix to combine, then microwave for 1 minute and mix again
Add in the 5 Medium Eggs and mix in to ensure they are fully combined
Add in the 175 g Plain Flour and 25 g Cocoa Powder and mix to combine
Pour into your line baking tin
Add in Mini eggs (optional)
Bake for 30 minutes, turning the tin at 15 minutes
Allow to cool for 5 minutes then add your Mini eggs and Chocolate Chips - optional for decoration to the top
Allow to cool fully in their tray, then remove and place in the fridge for 2hrs or overnight
Notes
Makes 12, 3x3" brownies
Will keep for a week in the fridge in either cling film/tin foil or tupperware
Freeze fantastically - wrap in cling film or in a food bag and get as much air out as possible
Always use caster and dark brown sugar, not substitutes
If you don't have block butter, baking spread also works
