Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs. Reserve a handful of whole or chopped eggs for the top.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Scatter the reserved mini eggs on top and press them in lightly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
  9. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Use the parchment paper to lift out the slab, then cut into squares.

Notes

For clean cuts, ensure bars are completely cool before slicing. Dough can be refrigerated in the pan for up to 24 hours before baking. Bars freeze well for up to 3 months.
