These super cute Deviled Brownies are made to resemble classic deviled eggs with a dessert twist! This treat is made with only a few simple and budget-friendly ingredients and you can customize the color of sprinkles to suit your occasion, or simply omit entirely. They’re great for a springtime or Easter luncheon or party, or anytime!

If you’re looking for a fun, festive, and easy dessert that you can even make ahead of time for your next gathering, these Deviled Brownies are it! They’re prepared to look like the classic popular deviled eggs, but made with brownie batter, frosting, and sprinkles. Whip them up in no time and then listen to everyone rave about how clever and yummy they are! I love how perfect they are for any holiday, baby shower, or luncheon simply by changing the sprinkles.

Helpful Tips & Variations

• Brownie mix. You need a box of brownie mix and the ingredients called for to make them (like eggs, oil, and water) or you can bake my homemade brownies. I recommend fudgy brownies over cake-like brownies, because they’re more dense and will hold the egg shape the best.
• Frosting. I chose to create my own frosting by combining cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. But you could certainly make vanilla buttercream or purchase a can at the store to make it even quicker.
• Dye the frosting. I chose to leave the frosting white, but you can tint the frosting pale yellow (for a more deviled egg yolk look) or pink, blue, green, or purple using food gel.
• Indent the brownies while still warm. Make sure to press the cavity of the cooked egg shaped brownies while the brownies are still warm to hold their shape and avoid cracking.
• Pipe the frosting. Use a 1M star piping tip for the frosting to get that classic deviled egg swirl.
• Let brownies full cool. Allow the brownies to cool completely before piping with the frosting or it’ll melt.
• Festive sprinkles. Festive sprinkles act as the “paprika” and are the finishing touch. They can easily be customized to suit your occasion by using different shapes or colors.
• Silicone egg molds. This recipe makes 24 deviled brownies, so you’ll need a few silicone egg molds. Alternatively, you can bake brownies in a pan, then cut out egg shapes using a cookie cutter.

How to Make Deviled Brownies Step By Step

Gather your ingredients.

Prepare the Brownie Batter. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on a 18.3 ounce box brownie mix, then prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box. Whisk until smooth but do not overmix.

Fill Egg Silicone Molds. Spray egg-shaped silicone molds with nonstick spray (this helps the brownies release cleanly after cooling.) Fill each cavity about ¾ full. I use a cookie scoop. Avoid overfilling, as brownies will rise slightly.

Bake. Bake according to brownie box directions, checking a few minutes early, since silicone molds can bake a bit faster. (Mine took 22 minutes at 350F, but all ovens run differently. Insert a toothpick in the center — it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.)

Create the “Deviled Egg” Cavity. Remove baked brownies from the oven, and using the back of a tablespoon measure, immediately but gently, press a small cavity into the center of each brownie while they’re still warm and soft. Do not press all the way through.

Allow brownies to cool completely. You need the brownies to completely cool before piping in the frosting, or it will just melt.

Make the frosting. In a mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat together 8 ounces softened cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla, until smooth and creamy.

Pipe the Frosting. Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a 1M tip and pipe a tall swirl into each brownie cavity (to resemble the yolk of deviled eggs.) If the frosting seems too soft, you can chill it for 30 minutes, but don’t chill it too long or it’ll be too stiff to pipe.

Add sprinkles. Top with festive sprinkles, which mimic the paprika on deviled eggs.

Serve. Ideally, place the deviled brownies on a white deviled egg tray for the full effect. Serve, enjoy, and listen to everyone tell you how cute they are!

Serving Suggestions

Chill briefly before serving if you want firmer frosting, then let sit at room temperature for a bit for best biting texture. I highly recommend serving these deviled brownies on a classic deviled egg tray for the full effect! These are so cute set out on a buffet table next to a gorgeous lemon trifle and carrot cake cookies. For a savory balance, serve with super cute stuffed mini bell pepper carrots.

Make Ahead and Storing Leftovers

• Make Ahead. You can bake the brownies 1–2 days in advance and store unfrosted in an airtight container. Frost the day of serving for best appearance.
• Fridge. Once assembled, these are best served fresh, but any leftover frosted deviled brownies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will keep for up to 3 days. Before serving, bring to room temperature for best texture.
• Freezer. You can freeze unfrosted brownies for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before frosting.
