Easter Brownie Bites are just the right sized small treat to add to your Easter dessert platter. Delicious, with an Easter Egg inside and on top !
Everyone loves brownies, don’t they ? I might still be on the Blondie team, but these bite size brownies are just so easy to make and delicious too !
These Easter Brownie Bites are perfect to add to your Easter dessert table, or simply as an addition to a sweets platter for Easter.
And the Brownies look ever so cute with the mini Easter egg topping !
Crispy on the edges and gooey on the inside. I should say super gooey, as I used the chewy jelly centered mini Easter eggs today.
Mini hollow Easter eggs make the Brownies more chocolatey, yet gooey as well. You decide on which type to use when baking.
No other adjustments need to be made for example baking time, same baking time for either mini eggs used.
Leftovers keep well for a day or two, however my granddaughter really loves these Mini bite sized Easter Bites ! I also think the overall look is quite pleasing to kids.
Speaking of kids, let them help you prepare and do the final touches. Some of the brownies, depending on age of the kids, might come out a little lopsided.
But who cares, it is fun baking with kids ! And besides the taste of the Brownie bites with Easter eggs make up for any “imperfections”.
You need not add big blobs of melted chocolate to keep the topped Easter egg in place. A tiny bit is enough. I just love chocolate, therefore, for me that means EXTRA chocolate ! Winner for all us chocolate lovers.
