Easter Brownies – Brownies get a little makeover for Easter, all dressed up to look like Easter Eggs.  So easy with a little frosting and sprinkles.

Traditionally people decorate eggs for Easter, but why not turn your dessert into pretty looking “Easter Eggs”? It is definitely a tradition in my house to color eggs. We always buy the little kit from the store and decorate eggs. We have been doing it since I was a little kid.

But these Easter Brownies are so much more fun and delicious! I mean you can make Egg Salad with your eggs, or you can just eat fudgy brownies.

If you have been around for awhile, you know that I am a huge fan of brownies. I am pretty sure they are my favorite dessert ever. These Homemade Brownies are my go-to recipe that I have been making my entire life. Getting them all dressed up for Easter is just a fun and easy idea.

You can use your favorite brownie mix for this, or if you have my Homemade Brownie Mix on hand, you can make a batch and then just get to decorating!

What You’ll Need

  • Unsweetened Chocolate
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Frosting
  • Sprinkles

You can make your own frosting, I like the recipe from my Frosted Sugar Cookies or you can use store bought if you want to make them quickly. Just add a little food coloring to some, and you can pipe on stripes and other decorations.

How To Make Easter Brownies

  1. Make your brownies and let them cool completely. You can follow the instructions in the recipe for making my homemade version, or you can even use already made brownies from the bakery.
  2. Use an oval cookie cutter or cut out ovals from a piece of parchment paper, and use a knife to cut out oval shapes.
  3. Spread frosting over brownies, and use sprinkles or colored frosting to decorate however you like.

These Easter Brownies are a great dessert to serve after your big meal! Or to just have around over the season. In my family we always have this Baked Ham for dinner along with Twice Baked Potato Casserole, so sometimes I like to wait and have dessert later.

Storage

Store your brownies in an air tight container for up to 4 days.

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Servings: 9

Ingredients 

Brownies

Frosting

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13×9 inch pan with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a bowl mix together chocolate and oil until well blended. Beat in sugar and eggs. Add flour and salt, and mix until well combined. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cooled (you can chill for cleaner cuts), use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut out ovals for your eggs.
  • Mix together the butter, sugar, vanilla and milk to make the frosting. Adjust the sugar and milk to get the right consistency. Depending on how many colors you want to do, separate into bowls. Mix in food coloring to get your desired color. Place colored frosting into a piping bag, or a plastic zip top bag. Cut off a tiny corner, so you can pipe onto the brownie.
  • Spread white frosting on your cut out eggs. Pipe on your desired designs, and use sprinkles to decorate.
