Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies

I can't believe that it's been a week since we last saw each other - my fault, I'm afraid. Between house sitting, a pulled tooth & misplacing my camera, I have not had much time to play, sing, dance or bake in the kitchen. Luckily I know some fabulous food bloggers who are willing to step in and keep une gamine going; and my camera was discovered hiding inside the bowl of my stand mixer (apparently after enough wine, a silver bowl bears a striking resemblance to a wooden cabinet).

Last December I did a guest post on Roxana's Home Baking. Today I'm more than happy to have Roxana on une gamine Until I'm elbow deep in flour and sugar again, I'm positive that her delightful Cadbury Creme Egg brownies will satisfy your sweet teeth!

Thank you, Roxana! Take it away...

Hello! I’m Roxana, the wanna be baker and photographer behind Roxana’s Home Baking. My blog is focus on baking everything from scratch. I’m a self-taught baker, learning more with every cup of flour I use. Most of the recipes found on my blog rely on simple techniques everyone can master with a little bit of patience. I also have a big sweet tooth, easily noticeable through the hundreds on desserts recipes I've shared. I may have a slight addiction to chocolate. After all, homemade chocolate goodies are the best medicine.

I'm happy to be here today on Valerie's blog sharing the recipe for rich, fudgy brownies with Cadburry Creme Eggs. If I have to pick one Easter candy i look forward every year it would be the Creme Eggs. I love the creamy fondant hidden inside the chocolate-y shell.

After eating lots a couple of eggs the idea of mixing them with a rich chocolate-y brownie was getting stronger and stronger. I was dreaming about these brownies. I knew there's no going back. I had to make them. Just imagining them was not sufficient for my sweet tooth.

To melt these brownies you start with melted chocolate. Everything that starts with melted chocolate is a winner in my books!

While the chocolate is slightly cooling, cream the sugar and butter. I've used brown sugar for a little extra flavor. Mix in the chocolate, egg and flour and spread the thick batter on the bottom of a baking pan. Time to unwrap the creme eggs and press them inside the brownie batter. I've used mini Cadburry Creme Eggs, the regular size being a little too big.

Bake, let cool and enjoy. It's that simple!

The results are out of this world good. The outside forms a thin hard shell, the best part of the brownie if you ask me, and the inside it's rich, fudgy, irresistible and totally addictive. The Cadbury eggs soften but still hold their shape inside the brownie bars.
