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 develops a golden brown color and nutty aroma. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Incorporate the eggs and mix to combine.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper or spray.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly into the prepared pan, reserving some M&M’s and chocolate chips for the top if desired.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until edges are golden brown while the center looks set.
- Once out of the oven, press halved Cadbury eggs gently on top while still warm. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
Chilling the dough enhances the flavor and texture of the bars.
Make sure not to overbake for the best chewy texture.
Feel free to customize the toppings with other candies or chocolates.
