Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs Use room temperature for better texture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener
  • 2 cups sugar
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Toppings
  • Easter-themed toppings (colored sprinkles, candy eggs) Customize to match any Easter theme

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Beat in cocoa, flour, and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Do not overcook to keep brownies fudgy.
Cooling and Decorating
  1. Once cooled, decorate with colorful Easter toppings and serve.

Notes

Check doneness early; a toothpick with moist crumbs keeps brownies fudgy. Let brownies cool fully before decorating to prevent melted candy. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer.
