Easy Easter Dessert Recipe
I can’t believe that Easter is just around the corner. Wow, time flies! I typically don’t make many desserts specifically for Easter but decided that I needed to up my game this year. And voila, these blondies with M&M’s Milk Chocolate Eggs were born. These Easter bars are fast, easy, made in one bowl, and you don’t even need a mixer. I used my favorite blondie base recipe and with 40+ versions and counting, it never lets me down. These buttery blondies are studded with big ‘ole chocolate M&M’s Eggs galore. The eggs are a little resistant to being stirred into the dough, but do your best. It’s so satisfying sinking your teeth into these super soft blondies contrasted against the crunchy shells of the M&M’s Eggs. Chocolate eggs are definitely my favorite type of Easter egg. If you have leftover Easter candy, this is a perfect recipe to use it with. And don’t forget that the blondies are an easy treat for Mother’s Day or for springtime baby or bridal showers, too.
What’s in Easter Bars?
To make this Easter dessert recipe, you’ll need:
Unsalted butter Egg Light brown sugar Vanilla extract All-purpose flour Salt M&M’s Milk Chocolate Eggs
How to Make Easter Bars
This is such an easy blondie recipe! Simply melt the butter, then whisk in the egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add in the flour and salt, then gently fold in the chocolate eggs. Turn the batter into a prepared 8×8-inch pan and sprinkle a few more chocolate eggs on top just before baking.
Can I Double This Recipe?
Yes, you can double the ingredients and bake these Easter bars in a 9×13-inch pan. The bake time should remain the same.
Do I Have to Use M&M’s Chocolate Eggs?
If you can’t find that exact version of M&M’s in your area, feel free to substitute with another kind of M&M’s. Or, use another favorite Easter chocolate of yours.
Tips for Making the Best Easter Dessert
If desired, you can probably add other mix-ins to the blondie batter. Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried fruit are all options. Note that the chocolate eggs are a bit tricky to stir into the batter. That’s normal, just do your best! To store these Easter bars, keep them in an air-tight container on your counter. They should last up to 1 week.
