Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
-
Brownie Mix: A boxed mix simplifies preparation but offers rich chocolate flavor; choose your favorite brand.
-
Eggs: Fresh eggs bind the ingredients together; opt for large eggs for best results.
-
Vegetable Oil: This adds moisture to the brownies; use canola or melted coconut oil if desired.
-
Water: Just enough to bring everything together; follow package instructions for the right amount.
-
Colorful Frosting: Use store-bought or homemade frosting in vibrant hues to decorate each brownie bite.
-
Easter Candy Eggs: These add a festive crunch and make each bite special; choose your favorite candy variety.

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin lightly with nonstick spray for easy removal.
Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until smooth—this should resemble thick chocolate pudding.
Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the brownie batter into each muffin cup until they are about two-thirds full. This helps them rise perfectly without overflowing.
Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs—just right!
Cool Before Decorating: Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for about five minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack. This prevents sticking.
Add Your Frosting and Toppings: Once cooled, pipe colorful frosting on top of each brownie bite and finish with an Easter candy egg on each one. Voilà!
These Easy Easter Egg Brownie Bites will be the highlight of your holiday festivities!
