How do you make Brownies with Cream egg??

[alfielooloo]

Our local coffee shop makes gorgeous Brownies with all sorts of added ingredients e.g. Twix, Kit Kat, Crunchie etc. We love the one with Cadburys Cream egg & want to attempt them myself. I'm not cheeky enough to ask the Chef how eggs many he uses and does he leave out a bit of the chocolate bar because of the added ingredients. Any ideas??

Can't advise I'm afraid, but it will certainly be fun trying!
Sounds delicious!

oh I used to make brownies with cadbury's celebrations

do you have a brownie recipe

you just pour half mixture in pan .. then pop a sweet in the middle of where you'll cut then the other half of the mixture

I assume you'd use mini creme eggs?

[Twiglett]

7oz unsalted butter
3.5oz dark chocolate (min 60%) broken into pieces
12oz dark sfot brown sugar
4 lrge eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

melt butter and chocolate over pan of simmering water .. remove from heat add sugar

The official MN brownies recipe (suzywong's):

A 7 or 8 inch square tin lined with greaseproof paper/baking parchment and the oven set to 180/GM4 moderate oven.

A small saucepan in to which you put

150g butter
150g chocolate, at least half of it should be plain

On a low heat and let it melt together and leave it to cool slightly

Then beat together in a bowl
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
175g caster sugar
Until creamy looking

Then sift in
100g plain flour
1 big tablespoon of drinking chocolate
And a quarter of a teaspoon of salt

Throw in 100g walnuts
And the chocolate and butter and mix well.

Scrape it into the lined tin and bake it for 18 minutes.

Then have a look at it, the top should be pale and cracking slightly, like a dried up muddy puddle, the body of the mix will still be slightly wobbly. If it isn?t like this then leave it in for another 3 minutes.

Leave to cool in the tin for 20 minutes and then slice into portions.

I got some Maltesers in the end, the Brownies were yummy but you couldnt tell the Malesers were in there they just melted when cooked, Brownies just had a few tiny crunchy bits.
I will look out for the Creme egg bar & give that a go, thanks purplemonkeydishwasher.
I am supposed to be on a diet but unfortunately am the only professional Brownie taster in the house & so have to keep making & tasting untl I get it right
