Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 3 1/2 cups (440g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)
  • Gel food coloring in pastel shades
  • Mini candy-coated chocolate eggs (for decoration)
  • Pastel sprinkles or confetti sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until glossy and smooth.
  3. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold until just combined.
  4. If using, fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 28-32 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Once baked, cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter for the frosting until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat until fluffy.
  8. Divide frosting into bowls and tint with gel food coloring.
  9. Spread the colored frosting across the cooled brownies, creating fun patterns.
  10. Decorate with mini candy-coated eggs and pastel sprinkles.
  11. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set the frosting. Slice into 24 squares and enjoy.

Notes

For best results, ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature. Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for a week.
