Blondies are like a brownie without the chocolate. Or sometimes called cookie bars! They have a rich vanilla, buttery flavor and can be made plain or with different mix-ins.

What type of candies are used to make mini egg blondies?

I used the M&M Milk Chocolate Eggs. But you could use another mini egg chocolate candy - like mini Cadbury Eggs. Or you can use your favorite M&M's.

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes, you can double the recipe and bake in a 9x13 pan. The bake time should be about the same. Cook until fully set and golden. Allow to cool before cutting.

Do they sell mini eggs year round?

Mini egg candies are only sold around Easter. In this recipe, you can swap in a different chocolate candy like M&Ms if you can't find mini eggs.

Category: Dessert
Method: Oven
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup M&M Milk Chocolate Eggs, divided

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line with a strip of parchment paper. I like to grease with butter and grease the parchment paper a little as well.
Melt Butter. In a large microwave safe bowl, carefully melt the butter. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Add Brown Sugar and Cool. Add the brown sugar to the melted butter, stir to combine. Allow to cool for a few more minutes until room temperature.
Add Egg and Vanilla. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar mixture. Stir until combined.
Add Dry Ingredients. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine - but do not overtax. The batter will be thick like a cookie dough.
Add Candies. Add about 3/4 of the chocolate candies and fold into the dough. They don't need to be perfectly combined as you can do that when you add to pan.
Add to pan. Press batter into prepared pan in an even layer. Press remaining candies into top.
Bake. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is center, set, and golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with crumbs, but no wet batter. Allow blondies to cool for one hour before cutting. They will firm up more as they cool.
Enjoy!

Notes

Leftover blondies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
