Instructions:

- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove chocolate eggs from the freezer. Decorate the brownies with the chocolate eggs immediately after removing the pan from the oven.
- Allow the brownies to cool for 10 minutes in the pan then use the parchment paper edges to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Slicing Brownies Evenly
When I was first married and started baking, I always had a problem slicing brownies. Probably because I was impatient and started slicing as soon I pulled the brownies out of the oven.
I mean, who doesn’t want warm brownies fresh from the oven? But that’s not how you should slice brownies if you want pretty even slices.
If you follow these easy tips, you’ll have perfect, evenly sliced brownies every time:
- After the brownies have baked, allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. But not on top of the stove, okay? The stove top is still warm from the heat of the oven.
- Remove the brownies from the pan using the overhang of parchment paper.
- Set on a baking rack or cutting board to cool completely before attempting to slice. Patience is key!
- The real secret to perfectly sliced brownies is to use either a serrated knife or a plastic knife!
- If you’re still finding it difficult to slice the brownies, dip the serrated or plastic knife in hot water first.
