Notes
- Use different colored mini eggs. I love the pastel colored, especially around easter, but use what you’ve got.
- Swap the mini eggs for different add-ins. Ok, so they’re not mini egg cookie bars anymore, but they still work! Use M&M’s, mini Reese’s cups, marshmallows, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
- For clean slices, wait until the batch has cooled at room temperature first before cutting.
