Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (9×13 size)
- Ingredients listed on the box (usually eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup chow mein noodles or shredded wheat cereal, lightly crushed
- Mini candy eggs (about 36–48 pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Prepare brownie batter according to the package directions (choose the fudgy option if listed).
- Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then loosen edges and let cool completely.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in noodles or cereal until fully coated.
- Spoon a small mound onto each cooled brownie cup. Use two spoons or a fork to shape into a nest with a dip in the center.
- Press 3–4 mini candy eggs into each nest while the chocolate is still soft.
- Let sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
