Having shared a brownie recipe before, I wasn't sure whether I should share another. But these Easter inspired brownies came out so well, that I couldn't not.

I made these this week for a charity bake sale at work. Using my classic basic recipe, that I use to make all of my brownies, I added marshmallows to the mix for a change. Plus a drizzle of white chocolate and crushed Mini Eggs to make them Easter friendly.

The marshmallows came to me as I was scrolling through recipes online. We've had a bag of giant marshmallows in our cupboard for a while, which I've not known what to do with. I chopped them up into chunks, added them to the brownie mix, and as they cooked, they browned and melted. Creating almost a chewing gum like consistency. Super gooey!

Ingredients (makes 12):

• 250g dark chocolate
• 250g unsalted butter
• 300g caster sugar
• 150g plain flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 4 medium eggs
• 100g chopped marshmallows
• 100g white chocolate
• 200g Mini Eggs

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line a deep oven proof tray with parchment paper.
2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of boiling water.
3. Meanwhile cream the sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
4. Fold in half of the flour plus half of the melted chocolate and butter.
5. Stir through the cocoa powder and fold in the remaining half of the flour and remaining melted chocolate and butter.
6. Finally fold in the marshmallows.
7. Once fully combined, pour into your oven proof tray. Bake for 30 minutes or until the the top layer has hardened and cracked.
8. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
9. Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. At the same time, lightly crush your Mini Eggs in their bag with a rolling pin.
10. Drizzle the white chocolate over the cooled brownies and sprinkle over the Mini Eggs.
11. Leave for a further 30 minutes (or overnight) until set.
12. Cut your brownies with a clean sharp knife.
