Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C). Line an 8” square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving handles to help lift the brownies out later.
Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and find a heatsafe bowl that fits on top without touching the water. Bring the saucepan with water to a simmer.
Cut butter and chocolate into small pieces so they melt easier and place into the bowl. Put the bowl on top of the saucepan with simmering water and stir until the butter and chocolate melts. Alternatively you can melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave in 10 second increments, stirring in between. Let melted chocolate cool to room temperature.
⅕ ¾ unsalted butter⅕ 7 chocolateIn a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it lightens in colour and thickens. This takes about 30-60 seconds. The longer you whisk, the more crackly the tops will be. You can use an electric mixer if you have one.
⅕ 3 large eggs⅕ ¾ granulated sugar⅕ ½ brown sugarAdd salt and vanilla extract, whisk to combine. Add cooled melted chocolate and gently fold to combine.
⅕ ¼ sea salt⅕ 1 pure vanilla extractSift flour and cocoa powder right into the same bowl. Gently fold until no more dry streaks of flour remain. Bake for 32-37 minutes. They’re ready when the edges are set and the middle is puffed up.
⅕ ¼ cocoa powder⅕ ¾ all purpose flourRemove from oven and sprinkle with flaky salt immediately (optional). While they’re still hot, cut the cadbury eggs in half longwise along the seams. Place halved eggs on top of the brownies and push them in well. Let cool until warm.
⅕ ¼ flaky salt⅕ 5 cadbury creme eggsOnce cooled, lift them out by pulling at the parchment paper. Slice into 16 squares (four by four). Cut the brownies while warm and use a clean knife. You can grease the knife to cut through the creme eggs easier.
