Description

Celebrate Easter with these chewy, buttery Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies! Packed with rich milk chocolate chips and crunchy candy-coated mini eggs, these festive treats are the perfect balance of crispy, melty, and soft.


Ingredients

For the Blondies:

  • Unsalted or salted butter, softened
  • Light or dark brown sugar
  • Granulated sugar
  • Large egg
  • Vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour
  • Cornstarch
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Milk chocolate chips
  • Mini chocolate eggs (Cadbury or Lindt)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Blondie Batter:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  • Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until just combined.

3. Stir in the Chocolate:

  • Gently mix in milk chocolate chips and mini chocolate eggs.

4. Bake to Perfection:

  • Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 18–22 minutes until the edges turn golden brown but the center remains slightly soft.

5. Cool and Cut:

  • Let the blondies cool before cutting into squares.
  • For clean slices, use a plastic knife or a hot, damp knife.

Notes

  • Use brown sugar for a chewy texture.
  • Slightly underbake for gooey perfection.
  • Chill before cutting for clean slices.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
