I'm obsessed with how you can take Cadbury Eggs and switch things up into totally different treats. After a lot of trial and error, I finally figured out how to nail that gooey yellow-and-white middle—it's all about the right texture. You want layers that hold their shape but still give you that creamy bite just like the classic eggs.
One Easter, my brother (he basically runs on Cadbury Eggs all spring) went through three squares at once. Some of the best things happen when you play with the flavors everyone already craves.
Unbeatable Ingredients
- Boxed Dark Brownie Mix: That rich brownie base helps those filling colors pop
- Corn Syrup: Makes the filling sticky and syrupy—just right
- Powdered Sugar: Sweetens it up and gives the filling that fluffy texture
- Yellow Food Color: So your filling gets that classic yolk vibe
- Ready-Made Frosting: Fastest way to get a perfect chocolate shell on top

Making Your Brownies
Build Your Base
- First, just whip up the brownie batter like it says on the box. Let the brownies bake, then be patient—let them cool before moving on to the rest:
How to Mix the Filling
- Mix up corn syrup, softened butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Go until you get a lump-free, creamy filling—think the inside of a Cadbury Egg:
Layering Secrets
- Color half the filling yellow, then layer it over the cooled brownies. Let each layer chill before you add the next if you want clean stripes—seriously, take your time here!
Easy Frosting Top
- Pop the canned frosting in the microwave just until it's pourable. Pour right on top so the whole thing gets that shiny, smooth finish:
