Easter Egg Blondies
Easter Egg Blondies blend melted butter with brown sugar and vanilla to create a sweet, tender batter studded with milk chocolate M&M’s. The topping of additional M&M’s pressed into the surface adds vibrant color and texture. Baked in a foil-lined pan, these blondies have a soft, chewy center with a lightly set top.

Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, melted, unsalted
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 cup M&M's milk chocolate eggs divided (substitute with your favorite M&M's if you cannot find those)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large, microwave-safe bowl add the butter and heat to melt, about 1 minute on high power.
- Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
- Add 3/4 cup M&M's Eggs and stir to combine as best you can. They are a bit resistant to stir in, but do your best to incorporate.
- Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly add the remaining 1/4 cup M&M's Eggs over the top, pressing them down lightly so they adhere to the batter.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until top is set in center and done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Blondies firm up as they cool.
- Cool for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- Use an 8-by-8-inch pan lined with foil and sprayed for easy blondie removal and cleanup.
- Wait briefly after melting butter before adding egg to prevent scrambling.
- Do not overmix once flour is added to maintain tender texture.
- Blondies will keep fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
