Chocolate-Loaded Brownies 

Fudgy, rich, and packed with chunks of Easter chocolate, these brownies are a chocoholic’s dream. The more chocolate, the better! We love Billington's light soft brown sugar for this recipe, the unrefined cane sugar adds more moisture than white sugar due to its molasses content, making the brownies extra gooey.

Easter Egg Cookies 

Soft, chewy cookies studded with chunks of Easter egg or Mini Eggs — because what’s better than warm cookies oozing with melted chocolate? See our 5* rated Millies Cookies recipe to get started! We're obsessed with Billington's Light Soft Brown sugar in this recipe, it gives the cookies a creamy, fudgy flavour that you won't be able to resist!
