The secret to these is freeze your Creme Eggs. It also stops me eating them before I get chance to bake with them too!
After the success of my Creme Egg Cheesecake, I decided this year’s Creme Egg bake would be Cadbury’s Creme Egg Brownies.
I used 2 packs of Mini Cadbury’s Creme Eggs – Normally 8 eggs in each packet plus an extra bag for nibbling on whilst photographing and for staging.
CADBURY’S CREME EGG BROWNIES
| Serves | 8+ |

| Cook time | 25 minutes |
| Total time | 45 minutes |
| Meal type | Dessert, Snack |
| Misc | Child Friendly, Pre-preparable, Serve Cold |
| Occasion | Birthday Party, Casual Party, Easter, Valentines day |
INGREDIENTS
- 16 Mini Cadbury’s Creme Eggs
- 200g Butter
- 100g Dark Brown Chocolate (I use 90% cocoa – Broken into small chunks)
- 100g Milk Chocolate (I used 60% cocoa -Broken into small chunks)
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 4 Medium Eggs
- 50g Cocoa Powder
- 130g Plain Flour
DIRECTIONS
| 1. | |
| At least 12 hours before baking, unwrap the mini Creme Eggs and freeze in a small plastic freezer proof tub | |
| 2. | |
| Next day, line a 9″ square cake tin – I find silicone trays best for making brownies – Preheat the oven to 175C | |
| 3. | |
| Remove the Creme Eggs from the freezer | |
| 4. | |
| In a medium pan, melt the butter and the chocolate – As soon as melted, remove from the heat | |
| 5. | |
| Using an electric whisk, beat the eggs until fluffy and add the sugar slowly | |
| 6. | |
| Pour the cooled butter/chocolate mix into the egg mixture and fold gently | |
| 7. | |
| Continue folding while you gradually add a tbsp of flour/cocoa powder | |
| 8. | |
| Pour into the baking tray and insert the Creme Eggs at regular intervals – press them as far down into the mixture as you can | |
| 9. | |
| Bake for 25 minutes and remove from the oven – Allow to cool in the tin | |
| 10. | |
| Chop into even sized squares and serve with extra Creme Eggs chopped into halves | |
The cream egg brownies. COR. Can’t even believe this is a thing. I need to do these, but I’ll have to wait because SLIMMING WORLD. *sighs* I reckon I just put a pound on clicking the link ha ha. Defo one for Easter weekend as a trea though!!! 🙂
Aah, what Slimming World don’t know, won’t kill em! x
Oh man! These look amazing Halen! I have to agree with you that it’s a pre-requisite to have a spare bag of mini crème eggs to graze upon as you bake – it’s just gotta be done!
Thank you so much for including my Spelt & Quinoa bread in your roundup.

Oh my WORD Helen, these are quite amazing!!! Great tip for freezing them, always wondered how people managed to use them in bakes without turning into a sticky mess!
I am seeing creme egg desserts every where at the moment and it’s torture haha. We can’t decide which one to make for Easter, but this has definitely gone to the top of the list!
Omg, these look amazing. I’ve just started eating dairy again so these might be overload but I’ll build up to them!
Oh wow! Those look amazing! I think I might have to give these a go x
Oh, how I want a slice. How utterly gorgeous and how very wicked of you Helen 😉
Dang, I have just finished the last of our mini eggs so have no way of making these tonight.
These look delicious, I don’t like creme eggs though so I’m not sure I would make them for me, but hubs would love them!!
Years ago I would have loved this kind of brownie but my tastes have changed with time and they would be too sweet for me now but they do look good!
Oh wow! Those creme egg brownies look AMAZING! I may have to give them a go before all the creme eggs run out!
I’ve never had a creme egg brownie but they look amazing.
Omg, the creme egg brownies look amazing! I need to try them x
Those look gorgeous! Putting the eggs in the freezer is a clever trick!
Oh wow!!! I tried these last year and I have to admit I did eat a fair amount while prepping! I love the idea of freezing them first!
Oh they look sooooo yummy! I know lots of my family would love those for a Easter treat!
this looks delicious but probably several zillion calories. I know my family would love this so may have to make this.
forgot to put #Joseph after my comment so it’s counted for the chopping board giveaway!
Wow, if I made my husband these for Easter I don’t think he’d ever stop kissing me. They look so good, what a great idea. xxx
I always wondered how magical Pinterest bakers bake with crime eggs without them turning into goo! x
They look wonderful. My family would love these

Woaw, that is rather decadent, but I have to admit – I can’t face another Creme Egg – and its not even Easter yet. I will just admire these brownies from afar
I need these brownies in my life! I’m not a huge fan of Creme Eggs on their own but the second they’re baked into something I cannot resist!
Wow these loook so good Helen! Loving your photos and am a big fan of Creme eggs. Haven’t found time to link to anything recently so I hope to start doing so again right now – off to add badge etc X
Those bownies look amazing! I’ll have a couple of batches please!
Thanks so much for featuring my GF loaf….. We are still loving it. I hope other people enjoy it too!
OHMYWORD — these look absolutely divine!!! I’m a sucker for cream-eggs although found out recently that, as they contain real egg white, one of my sons won’t be able to have them as he’s got an egg allergy!!
All the more for me then 😉
this looks amazing! so drool worthy! creme eggs are one of the husbands favourites are they are in season!! woop woop this would be perfect! could you tweet me when bake of the week is back ?? I’d love to link up! #YumTum
