This idea came from my bestest friend Laura. This is an excellent idea to use up that extra candy. Assuming that you have extra candy...
I took a recipe from Food Network and modified it to her specifications.
Deep Dish Brownies
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral tasting oil
3 Cadbury cream eggs, chopped
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs, cold
1 tablespoon cold brewed coffee
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Use an 9x9 silicon baking pan or line a similar sized metal or glass baking dish with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch. Spray the prepared pan completely.
Put the butter, oil and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat at 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more.
Stir the brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and coffee and beat vigorously until fully incorporated and the batter is thick and glossy. Add the cocoa, flour and baking soda and stir just until it disappears.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, about 30-40 minutes.
Cool the brownies in the pan on the counter. Lift brownies out of the pan by the foil, if needed. Peel off the foil and cut into 2-inch squares.
The brownie recipe is a healthy version of brownies. As healthy as brownies can be I suppose. They came out not too sweet, fudgey and fluffy.
I would make these again, with or without the Cadbury eggs.
I think this is a clever idea to use up some candy. Or a fun excuse to make brownies.
Enjoy! And thanks Laura to for the tasty idea.
