Peanut Butter Egg Easter Brownies

Peanut Butter Egg Easter Brownies are a decadent Easter treat, stuffed with peanut butter eggs and topped with festive decorations! 

Oh, hey Easter! You’re sneaking right up on us, aren’t you? For some reason, when Easter is in March, I get super confused and can’t keep the date straight. Easter feels like it should be in April, when the weather’s a bit nicer and the tulips usually bloom.

Am I alone here? Anyways, I’m traveling for work a bunch over the next two weeks, so I spent the weekend getting ready for Easter!

That included making Easter baskets for my son, experimenting with some treats like these Peanut Butter Egg Easter Brownies, Easter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Mini Egg Blondies, these adorable Oreo Easter Egg truffles AND helping stuff over 2,000 eggs for our neighborhood hunt (seriously)!

If you’d like to add a fun drink to the mix, I love this Easter Punch for kids!

For this recipe, you’ll need to grab a few treats at the grocery store.

First, you’ll need 12 peanut butter eggs. These go in the muffin tin along with the batter.

And you’ll need Easter M&M’s for decoration! Or, you could use candy eggs like in these chocolate Mini Eggs Cookies.

Making these delicious individual Easter brownies could not be easier. I used my favorite brownie mix, stuffed with the peanut butter eggs.

You could choose to leave them plain without frosting or add frosting and some decorations.

I chose a simple flower decoration with the M&M’s. Decorating these is definitely something that the kiddos could help with! Just remember to use your favorite cupcake liner, since brownie batter tends to be sticky! 

Serving Suggestions

I think these Easter brownies would be delicious served with festive Cadbury Creme Egg Dip and Easter Punch for kids!
