Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter until liquefied. Stir in granulated and brown sugars until smooth and glossy.
  3. Once cooled slightly, add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter. Transfer to the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  9. Spread the chocolate topping over the cooled brownies and drizzle with melted white chocolate mixed with pastel colors. Decorate with sprinkles and mini candy eggs.
