Ingredient Notes
- Butter: Unsalted butter provides a rich, fudgy base.
- Granulated Sugar: Provides sweetness and helps create the signature crackly brownie top.
- Eggs: Three eggs create a dense, chewy texture.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor and of course aroma.
- Cocoa Powder: Use natural or Dutch-processed cocoa for a deep chocolate flavor.
- All-Purpose Flour: Just ½ cup is enough for structure without making the brownies cakey—perfect for a fudgy bite.
- Salt: A small amount enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.
- White Chocolate: Belgian white chocolate melts beautifully for the smooth pastel drizzle.
- Candy Color: A must for tinting white chocolate—regular food coloring will cause it to seize or have streaky color.
- Easter Sprinkles & Mini Eggs: Adds crunch and festive color.
- Annie's Organic Friends Bunny Grahams for topping if desired.

Tips for making Brownies for Easter
- Don’t overbake! Brownies should be just set in the center and slightly underdone for that fudgy bite.
- Cool before decorating: If the brownies are still warm, the drizzle will melt into the top.
- Drizzle like a pro: Use piping bags or zip-top bags with the corner snipped off to control your pastel chocolate drizzle.
- Chill to set: If you’re short on time, pop the brownies in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set the drizzle quickly.
Recipe Variations
- Use sprinkles of your choice and omit the mini eggs for other spring events.
- Add chocolate chips to the batter or drizzle with both milk and white chocolate.
- Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added crunch.
Recipe Substitutions
- You can use vegan butter if needed for a dairy-free version.
- Swap in a 1:1 gluten-free blend if needed.
- Candy melts can work in place of white chocolate if you’re in a pinch or don't want to color your chocolate.
Storage Tips
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Fridge: These brownies keep well in the fridge for up to a week.
- Freezer: Freeze undecorated brownies for up to 3 months. Add the drizzle and decorations after thawing.

Easter Brownies
These Easter Brownies are the perfect sweet treat to add a pop of beautiful pastel color to your spring dessert table! Rich fudgy brownies decorated for spring.
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- ¾ cup 1½ sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- 6 oz Belgian white chocolate or white chocolate chips
- Candy color in pastel shades pink, purple, yellow, blue
- Easter sprinkles
- ¼ cup crushed mini eggs
- Optional: Annie’s graham cracker bunnies for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop in a small saucepan. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly thickened.
- Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Melt white chocolate and pastel-colored candy melts in separate bowls using 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each. If the melted chocolate is too thick, stir in a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable oil until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies in a decorative pattern using a spoon or a piping bag.
- While the drizzle is still wet, top with Easter sprinkles and crushed mini eggs so they stick.
- For an extra festive finish, gently add Annie’s graham cracker bunnies on top.
- Let the chocolate drizzle set fully before slicing and serving.
