Easter: Creme Egg Brownies

These beauty's have proven quite popular this easter, so i thought i'd hop on the bandwagon and give them a go. Of course you don't have to use creme eggs, you can use any egg your heart desires.

This is a great recipe with or without the chocolate eggs and also to use up all the left over chocolate from easter time (thats if there is any.) Its also an easy recipe to do with little ones as you can't go wrong and its fun for them.
