Description
These Quick Easter M&M Blondies are the kind of easy dessert that instantly brightens any spring table. They are soft, chewy, buttery, and packed with pastel candy-coated chocolate in every bite. I love making them for Easter brunch, dessert boards, bake sales, and quick family treats because the batter comes together fast and bakes into rich dessert bars with golden edges and fudgy centers. If you are looking for an easy recipe for dessert, simple baking ideas, sweet snack bars, spring treats, holiday dessert bars, and fun food ideas for Easter, this blondie recipe checks every box.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Easter M&M candies
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until no dry streaks remain.
5. Fold in most of the Easter M&M candies and chocolate chips, saving a small handful of M&Ms for the top.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the reserved candies over the surface.
7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.
8. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
For the softest texture, do not overmix the batter once the flour goes in.
Let the blondies cool fully before slicing so the bars hold their shape cleanly.
