Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies

These ooey gooey and quite frankly,rather messy treats have caused quite a stir!
I first cast my eyes on them when my daughter sent me a photo insisting I make them and ever since,
they’re everywhere!
With Easter being just around the corner, I jumped on the bandwagon,followed a few links and found the recipe.
I gather that its originally one of Eric Lanlard’s brilliant ideas,I found it on the Cadbury Creme Egg facebook page.
Here’s my effort…
I was a little worried,I was convinced Id over baked them ever so slightly and that they weren’t quite ‘gooey’ enough.
I was assured by every taster that they were spot on…who am I to argue?!
185g dark chocolate
185g unsalted butter
85g plain flour
40g cocoa powder
3 eggs
275g caster sugar
6 Cadbury creme eggs
Firstly preheat the oven to 180 or gas mark 4 and then,melt the butter and chocolate together.
Either in the microwave in 30 second bursts or by sitting the bowl on a saucepan of hot water.
Once melted set to the side and then in a separate bowl,crack in the eggs and add the sugar.
Using an electric whisk (or a hand whisk if you have the energy!) on high speed keep whisking until the eggy sugar becomes almost mousse like,it will take a good few minutes but it will be very pale and have almost doubled in size.
Now add to this the cooled melted butter/chocolate and combine it all together.
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and gently fold it in.
Now this is where I tell you I don’t have an actual ‘brownie pan’ but,I DO have my new toy.
I recently bought myself the Alan Silverwood multisize tin,yes I do know that its quite sad I consider a baking/cake tin a toy but I love it!
So anyway,I set the dividers to 8 x 8 inches and poured the mixture in.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes,I say that because I took mine out at 18 but I know my oven.
Whilst baking,take a sharp knife and cut the creme eggs in half,be careful…you don’t want fingers in there too!
They’re tricky,I couldn’t seem to get a clean cut but it really doesn’t matter.
Gently put the halved creme eggs onto the brownies evenly spaced apart.
Then pop back into the oven and bake for a further 10minutes to finish off and melt the creme eggs.
Let the brownies completely cool in the tin before cutting into slices.
I cant say they’re the prettiest bake but they are amazing!
