Use that Easter candy to make these fun bars! These blondies are so easy to make, are perfect for a party or crowd. A light crunch top gives way to a chewy middle for the perfect treat!

Blondies are the brown sugar and vanilla cousin to blondies. This recipe is perfect for your Easter crowd. They are filled with fun candies and topped with sprinkles. The batter comes together really quickly and your friends and family will love them!
Each year I fall a little bit more in love with Easter food. The pretty pastels, the fun bunny shapes and all of the eggs.
When I was a kid, MiMi always loved the Mini Cadbury Eggs. I always thought they were ok, but they weren't my favorites.
As time goes on I look forward to them more and more each year. There is just something about them that is so tasty and the fact that they aren't available year round probably doesn't hurt anything either.

Add to that anticipation the fact that Reese's now makes Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Eggs and you basically can't stop my face from grinning. So I thought it would be fun to put these two into a tasty treat.
I originally had really big fancy plans, but I had a whole menu of things I wanted to make for our annual Easter party and only one day to get it all done.
Darn new jobs and not being able to take days off for party prep and cooking! So I scaled back and went for something much easier.

Though these blondies come together in almost no time and aren't quite as fancy as what I originally had planned, there is a pretty darn good chance that our guests will like them even more.
They have the classic chocolate and peanut butter flavors that our friends and families always go gaga for in a a chewy bar. As easy as they are to make, they go down even easier! I can't wait to see everyone enjoy them at the party.
Some of our other Easter favorites include Easter bread and bunny butt pancakes. Are there any holiday foods that you look forward to every year?

Now, how can you go and win my heart anymore than you already have? By making Easter blondies!!! YUM and pretty pretty!!! Now if you can just tell me if you use a stepper at your desk at work, I'll love you even more you FitBit slayer you!!! Happy Easter to your and your beautiful family sweet peep. Hope Jax loves the easter Bunny and hunting eggs!
ReplyDeleteHa! I wish I had a stepper at my desk. I was tempted to get a treadmill desk for they days I was actually at my desk at my old job. I get all of those steps the old fashioned way ;-) We had a fabulous Easter and I hope you did too!
DeleteI've always had a soft spot for mini eggs as well (although I have to say they taste better in the UK) - this is a cute way to use them!
ReplyDeleteI need to get my hands on the UK version then! Thanks, Caroline!
DeleteThis will be a great way to use up all that leftover Easter candy. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes it will, thanks!
DeleteI love a good blondie, these will be so fun to make with my son, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThey are a perfect recipe to make with kids, fun and easy! Thanks, Jolene!
DeleteYour blondies look PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI look forward to seeing these today. It's going to be a fun and tasty party.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, wasn't it?
DeleteI love blondies and these are perfect for Easter.
ReplyDeleteMe too, thanks Quinn!
DeleteHi Carlee, your blondies look so good and yummy!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Easter.
Julie
Thank you so much, Julie! I hope you had a great Easter!
DeleteYum!! This is definitely a bar I would love! And, I have always had a thing for those Mini Cadbury Eggs. Probably my all time Easter favorite!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They were definitely a hit at our Easter party! Those Mini Cadbury Eggs are so addictive. I won't say how many I've had this weekend!
DeleteLove this! Definitely going to make with all the leftover candy!
ReplyDeleteOurs are gone,so maybe I'll make another batch! Thanks, Amy.
DeleteI have heard of blondies before, but I don't think I've ever had one! Saved this to Pinterest to try some time. :) Thanks for sharing on the Family Joy link up party!
ReplyDeleteIf you like brown sugar you are sure to love them! They are so easy too, so I hope you give them a try. Thank you
DeleteThese look so good and I might just have to make these with a variety of our Easter candy we received between the three egg hunts the kids went on! Thanks for linking up to the Easter Leftover Makeover Blog Party!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun way to use some candy. They were a hit at our Easter party, so I'm sure your family will love them!
DeleteOh yes! Blondies are good, but when you stuff them with candy, they HAVE to be better! These sound so yummy Carlee! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey definitely are! Thank you!
DeleteHow cute! I love blondies and these Easter ones are perfect for spring. Thanks for joining us at the Family Joy Link Party!
ReplyDeleteSamantha @ sammyapproves.com
Blondies are one of my favorites too, thanks!
DeleteThey look nice and crispy on top and ooey gooey in the center. I can't wait to make them.
ReplyDeleteThey really are and that's my favorite part! Thanks!
DeleteWow, these look delicious--pinning to make sure I make these next Easter! Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday!
ReplyDeleteYou can make them with any kind of candy in the meantime, but they are extra fun with the eggs! Thanks!
DeleteHow funny that the eggs sink. That's the surprise in the middle!
ReplyDeleteI was really disappointed when that happened! But in a move very unlike me I was baking these the night before the post so that I could serve them on the following day, so I didn't have time to tinker. I've made these blondies before with other candies and they didn't sink like that! Maybe next year I'll get them to rise to the occasion!
DeleteBut nobody minded and almost the whole batch disappeared at the party, despite there being at least 4 other desserts to choose from. So I'd say they're still a win!
DeleteHi Carlee, I love a gooey chocolate brownie, but have never tried a blondie. Looks like I may have to give these a go! This was the first year in a long time that Mum never managed to get some Cadbury's mini eggs for us, they have been a favorite of mine since they first came on the scene. I bet Reese's peanut butter eggs are to die for, we do get the peanut butter cups, which I love too. I beginning to realise I may just have a sugar addiction!
ReplyDeletexx
I looooove a gooey brownie too. The blondies are very similar but brown sugar is the dominant flavor. It's part chocolate chip cookie and part non-chocolaty brownie! I definitely have a sugar addiction, but I've known that for a while. Every once in a while I think I need to cut back, but the feeling never sticks around long! ;-)
DeleteI picked up some cute Easter sprinkles and have been looking for something to use them in, and these are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThey were such a big hit at our Easter party last year. I hope your gang loves them as well!
DeleteI want one of these now! They look so soft and sweet. Thanks for sharing on the Celebrate 365 Easter Recipes Blog Party!
ReplyDeleteThey really are good! I'd share if I could for sure, Val. Thank you!
DeleteThanks for linking up your recipe on the Celebrate 365 Easter Recipes Blog Party I have already made a batch and they are already gone! And I included your post in my round-up recap: http://www.cornbeanspigskids.com/2018/03/make-ahead-easter-dinner-recipes.html.
DeleteYAY!! I am glad you enjoyed them!
