Notes

  • This time of year, egg-shaped candies are super easy to find and come with almost any filling you can imagine. I used Milk chocolate M&Ms, but wouldn't caramel-filled eggs be divine on a brownie?! Yum!
  • *If all you have is a box of fudge brownies...You can substitute. Just use the recipe on the back of the box. It always works for me and still tastes yummy
