Ingredients Notes
The beauty of these blondies lies in the simplicity of their ingredients. You’ll need all-purpose flour, butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and, of course, Cadbury Mini Eggs. Make sure to use unsalted butter for better control over the saltiness of the blondies. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. Ensure your eggs are room temperature, which helps in achieving a smoother batter.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there’s some overhang to lift the blondies out easily once they are baked.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, then stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved. The mixture should look shiny and smooth.
Step 3
To the butter and sugar mixture, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the flour, being careful not to overmix. Once the flour is incorporated, add half of the Cadbury Mini Eggs, reserving the rest for topping.

Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Cadbury Mini Eggs on top and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Storage Options
Store any leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. For longer storage, you can freeze them by wrapping each blondie individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a resealable bag. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven for a few minutes for that freshly-baked taste.
Variations & Substitutions
For a different flavor twist, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts. You can also use dark chocolate Mini Eggs for a richer, less sweet version. To accommodate dairy-free diets, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative.
Serving Suggestions
These blondies are perfect for holiday gatherings, especially Easter. Serve them slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They also make a wonderful addition to a dessert table or as a sweet surprise in a lunch box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use milk chocolate chips instead of Mini Eggs? Yes, you can substitute Mini Eggs with milk chocolate chips or any of your favorite chocolates. However, the iconic Mini Egg crunch and flavor will be missing.
How do I know when the blondies are done baking? The edges should be set and slightly pulling away from the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few crumbs but no wet batter.
Can I double the recipe? Absolutely! Simply double all the ingredients and bake in a 9×13 inch pan. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly, so start checking for doneness around the 30-minute mark.
Whether you’re looking to satisfy a sweet tooth or searching for the perfect seasonal treat, these blondies deliver on all fronts. With their nostalgic flavors and simple preparation, they’re a testament to how a comforting dessert can bring people together.
