Ingredients

  • Boxed brownie mix (we used 18.3 oz Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix)
  • 3 large eggs
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • cup Robin Eggs, crushed
  • ¼ cup white chocolate for drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cavity brownie pan with nonstick spray or butter to ensure easy removal later. If using a regular baking pan, line it with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy lifting once the brownies are done.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until the batter is smooth and glossy, making sure there are no dry pockets of mix. Avoid overmixing, just stir until everything is well incorporated.
  • Evenly distribute the brownie batter between the 12 cavities of your pan, filling each about ¾ of the way full. If using a standard baking dish, pour in the batter and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Take your crushed Robin Eggs and sprinkle a small amount into the center of each brownie. Lightly press them into the batter so they stay in place while baking. This will add a delightful crunch and a pop of color to every bite.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a brownie, if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, they’re ready. If using a larger pan, baking time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them.
  • Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove each one by gently running a butter knife around the edges to help release them. If using a parchment-lined pan, lift the entire batch out and place it on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies. While the drizzle is still wet, sprinkle extra crushed Robin Eggs on top for a festive finishing touch.
  • Let the brownies set for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up, then serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
