Well there was only one way to find out, in the words of Great British Bake Off's (or GBBO as us fans called it!) Mel and Sue... BAAAKKKKEEE!
I was thrown into the madness of this Easter delight by a friend who lacks baking skills (sorry JB!) and was intrigued by this sweet treat. She bombarded me with this recipe http://scarletscorchdroppers.com/2013/03/12/creme-egg-brownies/ (many other's are available online) and gave me no choice of a healthier bake, even though we were both "healthy eating" (it has eggs in it right?). As a result we popped out and got the necessary ingredient's from Sainsbury's (other supermarkets are available!).
My Advice
1. Follow the recipe to the gram - no free styling!
2. Bake your brownie so it's still gooey and delicious in the middle
3. Freeze your mini crème eggs - I've heard on the grapevine this avoids them melting and leaves them with a gooey, soft yolk effect centre
4. If you have a sweet tooth and hate waiting around, speed up the baking process and make use of the marvellous invention called the freezer!
5. Cut them small - they are far too sickly!
The Baking Process
The finished result:
In my opinion they lived up to the Easter hype and were far tastier than I expected. If you lack a sweet tooth avoid at all costs as this is a recipe designed to make you teeth rot.
If you give this particular bake a go why not share you opinions and pictures on my blog!
