To make the brownies pre- heat oven to 180 degrees centigrade (160 fan) or gas mark 4, then line and grease a 9 x 9 inch (23 x 23cm) brownie tin.
Then you must first melt the chocolate, butter and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water. Mix until all the ingredients are fully melted. Remove from the pan and put aside to cool.
In a stand mixer put the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract and with a whisk attachment mix until light and fluffy.
Then whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture until fully combined.
Add the flour and fold in gently until all the flour is combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.
Finally put the halved mini creme eggs on top.
Then bake! They should have a slight wobble in the middle! Do not be tempted to bake for more than 25 minutes or you will have dry cake like brownies. These brownies are fudgy and gooey which is what all my customers loved! When they are completely cool you will be able to cut it into squares and enjoy.
