Just in time for Easter, these Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies are basically everything we love about the holiday packed into one wildly indulgent dessert. We’re talking thick, fudgy brownies stuffed with gooey Cadbury Creme Eggs that melt into dreamy pockets of vanilla cream as they bake. It’s like your favorite childhood Easter basket and your favorite brownie recipe had a very delicious baby.
If you love a good Creme Egg brownie recipe, this one is going to steal your heart. These are rich, chocolatey, and just festive enough to make them the perfect holiday chocolate brownie recipe—without being fussy or complicated.
Whether you’re baking for an Easter brunch, dessert table, or just because the candy aisle called your name, these Easter chocolate brownies are guaranteed to disappear fast.

Why This Recipe Works
This recipe is a winner for so many reasons. First, we’re starting with a Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix, which means deep, rich chocolate flavor without the guesswork. That mix creates the perfect base for turning these into ultra-decadent fudgy stuffed brownies.
Second, Cadbury Creme Eggs are basically made for this job. When baked into the brownie batter, they melt into gooey ribbons of creamy filling that contrast perfectly with the dense chocolate base. That’s what makes these brownies taste like gourmet Cadbury egg dessert bars instead of just another boxed mix recipe.
And best of all? It takes about 10 minutes of prep. So you get bakery-style brownies with almost zero effort.

What Is My Take on Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies
I absolutely love recipes that feel special but don’t require a full day in the kitchen. These brownies hit that sweet spot. They look impressive, taste incredible, and yet they’re secretly super easy to make.
The combination of rich chocolate and creamy Cadbury filling is dangerously good. Every bite gives you soft, fudgy brownie plus a pop of sweet vanilla creme. If you’ve ever wished Easter candy lasted all year, this Creme Egg brownie recipe is the next best thing.
They’re festive enough for a holiday spread but simple enough to make on a random Tuesday when you need chocolate therapy.
Make It a Meal
These brownies are the perfect way to finish an Easter dinner or springtime gathering. Serve them after a light, fresh meal—think roasted chicken, glazed ham, or a big spring salad—and let these Easter chocolate brownies steal the show at dessert.
They also pair beautifully with coffee, hot chocolate, or a cold glass of milk for the ultimate sweet ending.
Easy Side Dishes
Since these brownies are rich and decadent, keep the rest of the menu simple and fresh. Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette, roasted veggies, or a light citrus dessert alongside these Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies creates the perfect balance.
Ingredients
The full list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
For this Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies recipe, you don’t need anything fancy—just a few basic kitchen tools to make baking easy and mess-free. A set of glass mixing bowls is perfect for mixing the batter, while a spatula helps scrape every last bit of that rich chocolate goodness into the pan. An 8×8 metal baking pan gives you thick, perfectly baked fudgy stuffed brownies, and parchment paper makes lifting and slicing them effortless.
Scoff if you’d like, but I’ve found that a really good brownie mix is almost indistinguishable from made-from-scratch brownies—and it’s so much easier. I used Ghirardelli here, but if you prefer to DIY, check out this Homemade Brownie Mix from I Am Baker.
Step By Step Instructions
Step1: Preheat the oven to 325F degrees. Line a 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper.
Step2: Combine the water, oil and egg in a bowl and mix to com. Add the brownie mix and stir, being careful not to over-mix.
Step3: Pour the brownie batter in the parchment paper lined baking dish and spread out with a spatula.
Step 4: Cut each mini Creme egg in half and press into the brownie batter. Use more or less Creme eggs as desired. I used 8, but you can use up to 12.
Step5: Bake in the oven for 39-43 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
Step6: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Lift parchment paper up and set on a baking rack to fully cool.
Step7: Once cool, slice into squares. **Note brownies are easier to slice if they are chilled in the fridge.
Expert Tips:
- Don't over-mix the brownie batter - it can cause your brownies to be more tough.
- Use more or less Cadbury Creme Eggs depending on your preference. The more you use, the sweeter your brownies will be. For extra gooey centers, use 10–12 Creme Eggs.
- If you can't find mini Creme Eggs, substitute the full size. Chop them into pieces (it might get messy) and press into the brownie batter.
- Let the brownies cool fully before slicing. For clean slices, chill the brownies for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Want thicker brownies? Bake them in a smaller pan and add a few extra minutes to the cook time.
Common Questions
Yes—just chop them into large chunks before adding them to the batter.
Absolutely, but a double-chocolate or fudge-style mix works best for this holiday chocolate brownie recipe.
They might taste even better after chilling, as the flavors meld and the texture gets extra fudgy.
Brownies typically come out dry when they are over cooked. Make sure to start at the minimum baking time and only increasing it if brownies are not fully cooked.
Storing Instructions
Store these Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months—just thaw before serving.

Who would dare scoff at a brownie pre-mix? Not I! I love cooking and baking, but I'm not about to object to a little help along the way. These were off the charts. So good. So creamy. And I thought they were very fudge-y too, which is the way a real brownie lover likes to eat brownies.
Danielle says
Fudgy brownies are the only brownies IMO 🙂
