Squash the brownies down as a lot as you possibly can by mixing, after which add within the buttercream. You should utilize selfmade or store purchased, each work nicely once more and each are nice.

Combine till you will have a thick paste, after which break up the combination between eight. I make eight as you want an honest quantity of brownie combination to cowl the Creme Eggs nicely. 

I then flatten the brownie combination within the palm of my hand, add the frozen Creme Egg to the center, after which fastidiously however firmly wrap the brownie combine throughout the Creme Egg. 

Sprinkles

Upon getting accomplished the above, you possibly can dunk and roll the Creme Egg scotch eggs in sprinkles. This mainly makes it look extra like a scotch egg as they’ve a breaded floor. 

You should utilize vermicelli sprinkles like I’ve, or you should utilize grated chocolate, chocolate nibs, something actually that’s small and can stick with the brownie! 

I then let the Creme Egg scotch eggs set barely within the fridge earlier than devouring each single crumb… BECAUSE JUST LOOK AT THEM! They’re unbelievable!
