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.
