Ingredients Section

Here’s what you’ll need for the ultimate Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies:

• 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs (crushed): Roughly chop them to add a delightful crunch in every bite. You can use a rolling pin or a food processor—whatever you prefer!
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted: For the best flavor, use high-quality butter. Brands like Kerrygold deliver a rich taste that elevates your baked goods.
• 1 cup brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar both work! The molasses content in brown sugar enhances the caramel flavor, which is essential for our blondies.
• 2 large eggs: Ensure they’re at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• 1 teaspoon baking powder: This will help your blondies rise and get that chewy structure.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: A pinch enhances the flavors; don’t skip it!
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour: For a tender yet sturdy texture that holds everything together.

Prep Notes:

• Make sure your butter is fully melted but not boiling. Let it cool down slightly before mixing it with sugar.
• Use fresh eggs and flour for maximum flavor and results.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs: Place them in a zip-top bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 20×20 cm (8×8 inch) baking pan. This ensures an easy release later!
3. Melt the Butter: In a microwave-proof bowl, melt the butter carefully, ensuring it’s completely liquefied without boiling.
4. Combine the Sugar and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted butter and add the brown sugar. Mix until smooth and the mixture has a shiny appearance.
5. Add in the Eggs: Crack the two eggs into the bowl and mix until creamy and well combined—about 30 seconds should do!
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder and salt, mixing briefly. Gradually fold in the flour by adding it in thirds. Continue mixing until the dough resembles a thick cookie dough.
7. Fold in the Mini Eggs: Gently fold in half of the crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs to the batter, mixing carefully so they’re evenly distributed.
8. Spread in the Pan: Scoop the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, pressing them in gently.
9. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean—it’s okay if it’s a bit moist!
10. Cool and Slice: Let the blondies cool for 10 minutes before cutting them into squares. Serve warm for an extra gooey treat!

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Overmixing the batter can lead to tough blondies. Mix until just combined.
• Be careful not to overbake as they will continue to set outside the oven—look for that golden edge!

Expert Tips & Tricks

1. Storage Recommendations: Keep leftover blondies stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to two months!
2. Make-Ahead Instructions: You can prepare the blondie batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just bring it back to room temperature and stir before spreading it into your baking pan.
3. Troubleshooting Common Problems: If your blondies turn out dry, it’s likely that they were overbaked. Aim for that perfect golden edge. If they spread too much, ensure your butter wasn’t too hot when mixing or that you have enough flour.
4. Add Extra Flavor: Consider adding vanilla extract or a tablespoon of espresso powder for a unique twist!
5. Use Quality Ingredients: Whenever possible, choose high-quality chocolate and butter. They make a noticeable difference in flavor!

Serving Suggestions

These Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies are perfect on their own, but why not make the experience even better?

They’re fantastic for casual gatherings, family brunches, or as a sweet surprise for Easter celebrations—you’ll definitely find friends and family reaching for seconds!

And don’t forget about presentation! Dust them with powdered sugar for a little flair, or serve them on a colorful platter to add a festive touch.
