Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup mini chocolate eggs (halal-certified)
- ½ cup pastel candy-coated chocolates (halal-friendly)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (gelatin-free)
- Optional: pastel sprinkles, edible glitter, melted white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
4. Stir in Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
5. Pour Batter into the Pan
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula or offset knife.
6. Decorate with Toppings
- Lightly press in half the mini eggs, candy-coated chocolates, and marshmallows onto the surface.
7. Bake the Brownies
- Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
8. Cool and Finish Decorating
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
- While still warm, add the remaining mini eggs, candies, and marshmallows so they stick without melting.
9. Optional Final Touches
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate, add pastel sprinkles, or dust with edible glitter for extra flair.
10. Slice and Serve
- Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing into 16 squares.
- Serve on a festive platter or package individually for gifts.
