How to Make Easter Egg Brownies

Here are the simple steps, along with some fantastic tips and tricks to ensure your baking adventure is a sweet success! See the full recipe below for all the details.

1. Prep Your Pan

Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil. To perfectly measure your foil, flip your pan over and wrap the foil around the outside. Then, flip the pan back and line the inside – perfect fit every time!

2. Make the Brownies

Prepare your brownies as directed on the box. Once baked, cool completely on a cooling rack for about 1 hour. Then place your cooled brownies (still in the pan) into the freezer for 30 minutes. This makes them firm and much easier to cut cleanly.

3. Cut Egg Shapes

Gently lift the entire brownie slab out of the pan and peel away the foil. Use a 3-inch egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut egg shapes. If your cutter starts to get sticky, wipe it clean with a damp paper towel.

4. Color Your Frosting & Decorate

Divide your frosting into small bowls accordingly and use gel food color to achieve your desired vibrant Easter shades. Spread your frosting and then get creative!  Use sprinkles and colored sugars to your heart's desire.  

How to Store Easter Egg Brownies

The secret to storing extra Easter egg brownies to ensure their freshness is to avoid storing them in an airtight container. This causes moisture from the frosting to absorb into the brownies, making for some soggy Easter eggs! Instead, store leftover brownies in a cake keeper or on a plate topped with an upside down bowl to protect them from dust and countertop debris. Store at room temperature up to 4 days.
