Easter Egg Blondies

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!

     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?
