Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Chop the semi-sweet baker's chocolate into small pieces and microwave in 20-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk for 5 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Stir in melted chocolate, then sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in mini eggs, reserving some for the top before baking.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan, pressing reserved mini eggs into the top. Bake for 28 minutes until edges pull away.
  7. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before lifting out and slicing into squares.
