Creme Egg Brownies That Anyone Can Make

I do not believe in making things more complicated than they need to be. But I do believe in making delicious food… especially if it involves chocolate.

I put off making Creme Egg brownies for a long time, primarily because they looked so good I assumed they must be complicated. Experimentation however proved me wrong. They are in fact surprisingly easy.

And a brilliant way to wow your children!

So what are you waiting for? Get out your mixing bowl and give them a go:
