Equipment
9x9 Baking Dish
Stand mixer
or hand mixer and bowl
Ingredients
4
large
eggs
1
cup
granulated sugar
1
cup
brown sugar
lightly packed
½
pound
unsalted butter
melted (2 sticks)
1 ¼
cups
cocoa powder
2
teaspoons
vanilla extract
1
Tablespoon
instant coffee granules
¼
teaspoon
salt
½
cup
all purpose flour
10
ounces
mini eggs
¼
cup
pink candy melts
optional, or color of choice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F.
In a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer, whisk the eggs on medium speed until they are a light yellow and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add both sugars, melted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, instant coffee, and salt. Mix to combine well on medium speed.
Add the flour and mix until just combined.
Remove ½ cup of the mini eggs and set aside for later. Add the remaining mini eggs to the batter and mix to just incorporate.
Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Pour the batter into the baking dish.
Bake until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the middle of the brownies comes out rather clean, approximately 50-55 minutes.
Let brownies cool slightly.
If decorating with candy melts, melt in a plastic bag as per package directions (50% power), kneading occasionally, until melted.
Cut off a very small corner of the bag and squeeze the bag across the brownies in a zig zag pattern.
Place the ½ cup of reserved mini eggs on top of the brownies.
When ready to serve, cut into desired size
