If you love chewy dessert bars with buttery flavor and melty chocolate, these Cadbury Egg Blondies are going to become one of your favorite Easter treats.
Blondies are one of my favorite desserts to make because they’re incredibly simple, but they taste like something straight out of a bakery. And when you add Cadbury chocolate eggs and browned butter, the flavor goes to a whole new level.
Here’s my little upgrade that makes these blondies completely irresistible…
Instead of just melting the butter, I brown the butter first. Browning butter creates this deep, nutty, caramel-like flavor that makes the entire pan taste rich and homemade. It’s one of those small tricks that makes people ask:
“What did you do to these?!”
These are absolutely RIDIC-ULICIOUS!

Ingredients for Cadbury Egg Blondies
Here is everything you need to make this easy Easter dessert.
Dry Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 ¾ cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Mix-Ins
1 ½ cups chopped Cadbury mini eggs
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional but delicious)
How to Make Cadbury Egg Blondies
Step 1: Brown the Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup butter.
Continue cooking while stirring until the butter foams and develops golden brown bits and a nutty aroma.
This takes about 4–5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl combine:
Browned butter
1 ¾ cups brown sugar
Whisk until smooth.
Add:
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
Whisk again until glossy and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Mix until just combined.
Do not overmix.
Step 4: Fold in the Candy
Fold in:
1 ½ cups chopped Cadbury mini eggs
½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
The batter will be thick.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease or line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
Spread batter evenly into the pan.
Sprinkle a few extra Cadbury eggs on top for presentation.
Bake 22–26 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
Do not overbake — slightly gooey centers make the best blondies.
Step 6: Cool and Slice
Allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing.
Cut into squares and serve.
Baking Tips for Perfect Blondies
Do not overbake
Slightly underbaked centers create that chewy texture.
Use parchment paper
This allows you to lift the entire pan out and slice clean squares.
Chop some of the Cadbury eggs
This spreads the chocolate throughout the batter.

FAQ About Cadbury Egg Blondies
Can I use whole Cadbury eggs instead of chopping them?
Yes, but chopping them spreads the chocolate throughout the batter and creates a better texture.
Can I make these in a smaller pan?
Yes. An 8×8 pan works well, but the blondies will be thicker and may need an extra 5–10 minutes of baking.
Can I use white chocolate chips?
Absolutely. White chocolate pairs beautifully with the milk chocolate Cadbury eggs.
