Ingredients
Scale
- 2 & 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter browned and cooled down to room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pastel easter m&m’s
- 1/2 cup crushed cadbury mini eggs
- 8–12 cadbury crème-filled mini eggs halved (for topping)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it becomes golden brown and smells nutty. Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and glossy, then add the eggs and mix until incorporated.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just mixed and then fold in chocolate chips, pastel M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly into the prepared pan, optionally reserving a few M&M’s and chocolate chips to press on top later.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set; avoid overbaking.
- After baking, press the halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs onto the hot bars, allowing them to stick without fully melting. Let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps enhance the flavors and makes it easier to spread.
Keep an eye on the baking time to ensure the bars remain soft and chewy; overbaking can lead to dryness.
Feel free to adjust the toppings based on your favorite candies or preferences.
