1cupCadbury mini eggscrushed or roughly chopped
½cupCadbury mini eggsfor decoration
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Cover a 9x13-inch pan with tin foil and lightly grease the foil.
In a large bowl, blend 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Add 4 large eggs and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup Hershey's Cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add flour mixture to eggs and stir until well blended.
Add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup Cadbury mini eggs to the mixing bowl and gently fold them through the brownie batter. Do not over mix.
Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or just until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges. We suggest checking at about 22 minutes with a tester. You should see wet crumbs on the tester but it should not be coated in wet batter.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cadbury mini eggs on top of the warm brownies, pressing slightly to make them adhere.
Cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then gently lift the foil out and allow brownies to cool before cutting.
