Description

Easter Blondies are a festive, buttery treat that combines chewy blondies with colorful Easter candies like M&Ms and white chocolate. Perfect for spring celebrations, these easy-to-make blondies are a fun, sweet addition to any gathering.


Ingredients

For the Blondies:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup pastel-colored M&Ms (or Easter-themed candy)

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly with non-stick spray.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • Prepare Wet Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Combine Wet and Dry:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  • Fold in Mix-ins:
    Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, Easter candy (like pastel M&Ms), and any optional ingredients like chopped nuts or marshmallows. Reserve some candy for sprinkling on top.

  • Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the reserved candy pieces on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.

  • Cool and Slice:
    Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares and enjoy!
