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 the candy-coated ones
- 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 foams, sizzles, and becomes golden brown. Remove from heat and cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth, then add eggs and mix until well combined.
- Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, pastel M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly into the prepared pan. Optionally, set aside some M&M’s and chocolate chips to press on top before baking.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Avoid overbaking.
- Once out of the oven, press the halved Cadbury crème-filled mini eggs on top while still hot. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Cooling the browned butter is essential to avoid cooking the eggs when added.
Optional toppings of chocolate chips or M&M’s can enhance the look of the bars.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
