FAQs

Can I use a regular muffin tin instead of a mini one?

Yes, but adjust the baking time to 18–22 minutes and fill each cavity about 2/3 full.

Do I need to push the eggs into the brownies before or after baking?

It’s best to press them in just before baking so they melt slightly and hold in place.

Can I use different types of Easter candy?

Absolutely—try jellybeans, M&M’s, or peanut butter eggs for variety.

How do I keep the brownie bites from sticking?

Make sure to grease the pan well or use mini paper liners to prevent sticking.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, they keep well for several days and can be made a day or two in advance.

Can kids help with this recipe?

Definitely—this is a fun, family-friendly baking project that’s great for little helpers.

Can I use homemade brownie batter?

Yes, any favorite homemade brownie recipe will work—just be sure it’s thick enough to hold shape in mini muffin tins.

What’s the best way to decorate them?

Drizzle with melted chocolate or icing and top with sprinkles, candy grass, or extra mini eggs.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes! Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a container or bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

How do I know when they’re done baking?

The edges should look set, and a toothpick near the edge should come out with a few moist crumbs—not wet batter.
