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 turns golden brown and smells nutty. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
- Stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips, pastel M&M's, and crushed Cadbury eggs, then chill the dough for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly into the pan, optionally reserving some mix-ins for decoration on top.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown on the edges and slightly set in the center. Avoid overbaking!
- Once out of the oven, press halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs into the warm bars and let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Brown the butter carefully to achieve the right nutty flavor.
Chilling the dough helps prevent the bars from spreading too much while baking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
