With Easter right around the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to start baking some Easter treats. It did take me two attempts to make this recipe and not because I had issues making them, but because I kept eating all the Cadbury Creme Eggs before I had a chance to make the brownies. After another trip to the supermarket to buy more, I finally made them, and I’m so glad I did! They are amazing! If you’re a chocolate fan and a Creme Egg fan, you will love this recipe!
Makes around 12-14 squares.

- 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Icing

Directions
