Ingredients
- Mini Cadbury Eggs - From what I've seen, Mini Cadbury Eggs are only around my local grocery store during Spring/Easter. I have heard of some people stocking up on a few extra bags for later on in the year, but I'll leave that up to you...
- Brown Sugar - We're using brown sugar as the sweetener for these brownies. The molasses in brown sugar gives a better depth of flavor than granulated. I used light brown, but dark brown will work in a pinch.
- Melted Butter - The best part about blondies is the buttery, almost cookie bar-like flavor! Melted butter helps create that taste we're looking for. Use unsalted, or if you only have salted butter, omit the extra pinch of salt in the recipe.
How to Make Blondies
We're actually going to use the best blondie recipe on the Internet as a base - my Brown Sugar Blondies!
If you didn't know, Blondies are brownies without cocoa. Instead of a chocolatey taste, they have a beautiful vanilla + brown sugar + buttery flavor. They are incredibly moist, and just sweet enough without being over the top. They honestly remind me a little bit of a cookie bar as well.
Blondies are incredibly easy to make. We're going to start out with a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar. Add in eggs, vanilla extract, and some dry ingredients like flour and baking powder. Finally, you can get creative with whatever mix-ins you choose! For my staple blondie recipe, I normally add white chocolate chips or chopped nuts. In this recipe, of course, we're using those tasty Mini Cadbury Eggs.
FAQs
Cadbury Mini Eggs are made of a milk chocolate sphere in the shape of an egg, with a crunchy candy shell. They are similar to M&Ms, but with their own tasty flavor (not to mention, they are just so cute!) You can see the full list of ingredients here.
Store these blondies in an air-tight container for 3-4 days (if they last that long.)
I don't believe they are stocked in U.S. grocery stores year-round... however, they are sold in Canada year-round, and you may be able to find someone online like Amazon!
