I think my favorite seasonal candy of all time is the Cadbury Mini Egg.
They’re just perfect.
I’m sure I’ve rambled on and on for my love of this candy in previous years, but I can’t help it. I will eat them by the handful and always look for recipes involving these yummy little eggs.
Maybe one of these years I’ll branch out and fall in love with a new Easter candy, but until then. . .
Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies
A perfect treat for Easter brunch!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups Cadbury mini eggs
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan.
2. In a medium sizes mixing bowl sift flower, baking soda and salt together.
3. Melt butter over medium heat. Once melted add to the bowl of your electric mixer. Cream together with sugars.
4. Add in vanilla and eggs mix until creamy.
5. Slowly add in flour mixture until it is incorporated. Fold in mini eggs. [I crushed the mini eggs a bit – but you don’t have to)
6. Spread batter into a greased 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a tooth pick is inserted in the center and comes out clean.
7. Let the bars cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Your yield will depend on how big or small you cut the blondies.

I made these this weekend too! They were freaking awesome!!
Yeah! Two thumbs up to this recipe :)
Three things:
How do you crush them a little???
A 9×9 pan is entirely too small.
Have you ever tried Hot Tamale Jelly Beans? Different shape – different experience – delicious if you can find them.
Jodi –
I put them in a bag and beat them with a spoon. Just to break the eggs up a little bit – you don’t need to crush them entirely. Or you can leave the eggs whole, it’s personal preference. A 9×9 pan is not entirely too small. It worked well for me — but if you want a thinner blondie, use a 9×13 pan and watch the baking time, as it may need adjustment. If the hot tamale jelly beans are actual jelly beans, I know I won’t like them — not a jelly bean fan, unfortunately!
Thanks for the comment & happy baking!
