- Dry Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
- Wet Ingredients: 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled; 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed; 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar; 2 large eggs, at room temperature; 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Mix-ins: 1 cup (170 g) Cadbury mini eggs, chopped; 1 cup (170 g) pastel M&Ms
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
- 4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
- 5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- 6. Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury mini eggs and half of the pastel M&Ms.
- 7. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms and a few extra mini egg pieces over the top for decoration.
- 8. Bake for 23–26 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Do not overbake for soft bars.
- 9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into bars.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Für eine extra klebrige Textur die Riegel etwas weniger lange backen. So bleiben sie wunderbar weich und saftig in der Mitte.

Cooking Questions
- → What ingredients make these bars soft and chewy?
The combination of melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar creates a moist dough, while careful baking keeps the bars tender and chewy.
- → Can I substitute the candies used in the bars?
Yes, mini chocolate eggs or regular M&Ms can replace Cadbury mini eggs or pastel M&Ms if unavailable.
- → How do I prevent the bars from overbaking?
Bake until edges are golden and center is just set; slightly underbaking results in a gooier texture.
- → How should I store these bars after baking?
Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days to maintain freshness.
- → Are there any allergens in these bars?
These bars contain wheat (gluten), eggs, milk, soy, and may include tree nuts or peanuts from candy coatings. Check labels carefully.
