For The Brownies

• 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
• 2 Cups Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
• 4 Eggs
• 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
• ⅔ Cup Cocoa Powder
• ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
• ½ Teaspoon Salt

For The Coconut Frosting

• ½ Cup Brown Sugar
• ½ Cup Sugar
• ½ Cup Butter
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• ¾ Cup Evaporated Milk
• 1 Cup Pecans
• 1 ½ Cups Shredded Coconut
• 1 Package Cadbury Mini Eggs

For The Brownies

• In a medium saucepan, mix the first five ingredients together. Stir on medium heat until thickened.Remove from heat and stir in nuts and coconut.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray muffins tins generously with non-stick cooking spray.

• In a bowl, add oil, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs and mix again. Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to wet ingredients and mix well.

• Pour batter into muffin tins, filling each only about ⅓ full. ( If you're using a mini muffin tin, you can fill each about ⅔ full). Bake for about 12 minutes, or until just set, taking care not to over bake them. Once cooled use a small knife to trace around each brownie bite to loosen it from the pan. Prepare coconut frosting.

For the Coconut Frosting

• In a medium saucepan, mix the first five ingredients together. Stir constantly over medium heat until it comes to a slow boil. Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens - this will take about 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Allow frosting to cool.

• Place a spoonful of cooled coconut frosting on each brownie bite. Add 2 cadbury mini eggs to each brownie bite nest.
