Recipe FAQs

→ What other brownie mixes can I try?
Any gooey or fudge-style brownie mix should work great.
→ What’s the point of adding more flour?
It gives the cookies a firmer, chewier texture instead of being too soft.
→ Can I swap mini eggs for a different candy?
Sure, you can replace them with M&Ms or another chocolate candy of your choice.
→ Why do I need to crush the candy eggs?
Breaking them up spreads the chocolate more evenly and makes them easier to eat.
