Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker Brownie Mix Fudge), plus ingredients required on the box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
Frosting
- 1 tub chocolate frosting (such as Miss Jones Chocolate Frosting)
Decoration
- 1 bag Cadbury mini eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven following the temperature and instructions specified on your boxed brownie mix (typically 350°F/175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with cupcake liners that are lightly sprayed.
- Portion Brownie Batter: Use a large cookie scoop (approximately 1/4 cup) to evenly distribute brownie batter into each muffin cup. This ensures uniform size and even baking.
- Bake Brownies: Bake the filled muffin tins for 20-25 minutes at 350°F. Baking times may vary depending on your mix, so check doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Adjust time and temperature if necessary.
- Cool Completely: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool entirely before frosting to prevent frosting from melting.
- Prepare Frosting: Stir the chocolate frosting until smooth and creamy. Transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip for piping.
- Pipe Frosting Nests: On top of each cooled brownie bite, pipe circular patterns to create a ‘nest’ shape, filling the center generously with frosting to mimic a bird’s nest.
- Decorate with Mini Eggs: Place three Cadbury mini eggs in the center of each frosting nest to complete the easter-themed decoration.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Easy Easter Egg Brownie Bites are now ready to be enjoyed as a festive dessert or treat.
Notes
- Use non-stick spray or cupcake liners to prevent sticking and ease removal from the muffin tin.
- Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven and brownie mix instructions.
- For a different look, try using different colored mini eggs or add a sprinkle of edible glitter for festive presentation.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and sliding of the frosting.
