    Cadbury Egg Brownies

    Since making our Homemade Cadbury Eggs for Easter, I have been excited to make some additional desserts with the easy filling. Layered brownies seemed perfect.

    I started with a boxed brownie mix to keep this Easter dessert simple. I then layered in a layer of yellow goo and then white goo. The layers worked perfect just like you will find in a Cadbury Egg.

    I then topped off our Cadbury Egg Brownies with pourable frosting. I used the heated frosting trick I used in my Boston Cream Poke Cake. I knew this trick would be perfect on these brownies.

    Wow, was I right. I tossed my brownies in the freezer for a bit. I like to get my desserts that need cutting very cold to get perfect slices. After getting them set and sliced, the layers looked gorgeous. I plan to make a batch of these for our Easter dessert. We have quite a few family members who go crazy for Cadbury Eggs. I know these brownies will be perfect.

    The recipe is so super simple. I used a good dark brownie mix to really get a nice color contrast. Then with some butter, corn syrup, vanilla, and powdered sugar, I created the Cadbury Egg filling layers. With a bit of yellow food coloring to half of the batch, I achieved the fun yellow coloring. The store bought frosting poured on top works perfect after a little bit of chill time.

      It would be helpful if there was a comment about how thick the fillings should be. Mine was real thick and the yellow pulled up some of the brownie crumbs. The white I then microwaved a little to make it easier to spread.

      Also, should these be kept in the refrigerator or at room temp?

      I also decorated the top with the small chocolate Cadbury Eggs.

      I look forward to these eggs every year. Thanks for creating and sharing a recipe so that I can enjoy the treat even when they are not in season. Pinned and may not get to trying the recipe this year but will keep it printed for later. This post will be one of the features this week. #HomeMattersParty

      It would have been super helpful if the written recipe at the bottom included the detail that you used an 8×8 brownie mix and not a 9×13. My layers of goo are not really layers but a schmeer.

        Hi Allison! I am sorry this is one of my older posts that needs some updates. I just added the brownies should be made in an 8X8 baking pan.

      To anyone complaining about the cream part – mine was way too thick too. BUT you can easily save it if your’s gets too thick! :) Just add a little water at a time, and keep stirring until you get back to your desired consistency. No need to throw anything out! Tastes just fine, and spreads very well. Still sticky since it’s corn syrup based, but it won’t pull your brownies up. Enjoy! Excited to finish these off.

      My corn syrup filling did not work, there was not enough liquid. Not sure what the consistency is supposed to be, I had expected creamy and not runny. When made per the recipe the filling was powdery. I actually added more butter but maybe should have gone with more corn syrup.

      I just tried making these for Easter and the Cadbury cream is TOTALLY unspreadable. I double checked the recipe as I was preparing the cream spread because it seemed really thick after 2 cups of powdered sugar – I wish I had listened to my gut and stopped there. The brownies were ripping apart as I was trying to put the first layer on. I had to take it off and just iced them with the chocolate icing instead since I don’t have time to go back to the store to get ingredients for a new recipes. I would advise others to reduce the amount of powdered sugar if their cream seems thick – your brownies will be ruined if you don’t!

        I wish I read the comments before proceeding as I had the exact same issue with the icing. Taffy-like for sure. I stuck it in the microwave for a few seconds before trying to spread

        I wish I had read the comments before trying !! I did the same thing had the same problem!! To thin it though I put a little bit of milk since like you, I had one of my ingredients I just had enough for one batch!! It was still hard to spread but it did thin it out a little because mine was about the texture of dough!!

        I totally agree. I couldn’t understand what I did wrong. These were not goey…they were like play dough. Was having this for Easter dinner tomorrow. Now to the store to buy something….so disappointed.
