My chocolate brownies packed with Dairy Milk, and Cadburys eggs squished in the top, have been going down a storm, and as much as I'd love to bake them for each and every one of you, I thought it would be easier to share the recipe - please feel free to share this link..
Ingredients:
160g solid stork margarine, or butter
80g cocoa powder
290g caster sugar
4 eggs (room temperature)
120g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
100g chocolate chips
6 Cadburys chocolate eggs (I've used cream eggs, caramel eggs, and a combination of both, to solve the cream v caramel egg dilemma)
Let the fun begin!
- Preheat your oven to 180C
- Grease your baking tray (8" x 12" or similar)
- Melt the margarine/butter over a gentle heat, then stir in the cocoa powder, sugar, and the eggs
- Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon, until glossy
- Sieve in the flour and baking powder, with a pinch of salt, and mix together.
- Mix in the chocolate chips (rather than cooking chocolate chips, I prefer to cut a bar of dairy milk into chunks)

Nice glossy mixture, with chunks of chocolate
- Pour the mixture into your greased tray, and spread evenly, making sure the mix goes into the corners of the tray
- Bake for 15 minutes
- While your brownies are in the oven, cut your eggs in half (I've got no words of wisdom to explain how to do this neatly - some cut in half, some break, just go with it)
- Take your brownies out the oven, and at regular spaces, cut a slit in the top of the brownie, and push half an egg into the cake. It should push in easily, but if not, just apply a little pressure and wiggle it down into the cake

After the first bake, the eggs are added, and ready to go back into the oven
- Put the brownies back in the oven, and cook for a further 10-15 minutes (if the brownie springs back when you touch the surface, the cake is cooked)
- Let them cool in the tray, and then cut into equal portions (note - if you cut across the eggs, the filling will ooze out, especially the caramel eggs)
- Stuff your face, and share any that are left, if you feel generous
