Give your Easter desserts a little holiday style with this easy, one-bowl recipe for Easter Egg Brownies. This recipe starts out with a boxed brownie mix, decorating candy gels, a cookie cutter and your imagination!
Don't worry, I have a few templates below for you to use to create the prettiest designs. Let me help you turn an ordinary brownie mix into something extraordinary that's just happens to be super easy to make.
This recipe was inspired by Mini Easter Egg Cakes and my Easter Egg Cake. Both recipes use a cake mix with store-purchased frosting and fun colorful sprinkles.
However, this year I thought, let's try something different and make these festive Easter Egg Brownies.
How fun would this be if you had the kids decorate their own brownies after dinner? Maybe while you're setting up the Easter egg hunt? This would keep the little ones occupied and their eyes off the grownups hiding eggs.
