March has us on the hunt for special treats! Luckily we have another great recipe from our friend Nancy, who creates the most delicious, beautiful dishes. A new season is on the way, flowers are starting to make an appearance, and celebrating Jesus’s resurrection puts us in the mood for anything that looks like joy. And nothing in the oven looks more like joy than pastel egg-shaped chocolate in a blondie!
Thank you to our friend Nancy C. for putting together this delicious recipe! We hope you try it out and enjoy it with family and friends during the Easter season. Friends, scroll down for the recipe and download a FREE printable recipe card!

Prep Time: 15 min
Bake Time: 30 min
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light
- brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 (9-oz.) pkg. Cadbury Mini Eggs, divided (chop 1 cup of the mini eggs to stir in the batter and keep the rest, almost 1/2 cup, unchopped to use for scattering on top)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease an 8 x 8” baking pan or line with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large or medium-sized bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar, blending well. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing everything well. Next, add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until all ingredients are combined.
- Fold in the 1 cup of chopped mini eggs, mixing until evenly distributed in batter. Add batter, spreading evenly, into prepared baking pan.
- Bake at 350˚F for 20 minutes, then remove from oven briefly to scatter and slightly press the remaining mini eggs on top; bake 10 more minutes, until edges are golden and center is set (a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean).
- Cool completely in pan, then cut into squares.
Note: An easy way to “chop” the mini eggs is to put them in a zip-top bag and crush them into chunky pieces with a rolling pin.
To get the beautiful and fresh look above, use this set of Tea Towels! Pop leftover egg-shaped chocolates in one of these Grace & Gratitude Dip Bowls, and the blondies would be lovely served on this Grace & Gratitude Blush Medium Pedestal.

Yum! Thank you
In Courage,
Thanks for the recipe!
(I know what you decide to put on this site is your own business/responsibility, but it would be really helpful to me if, even on “recipe” days, there could be even a very tiny bite of scripture and of Christian encouragement somewhere on the page? Thank you!)

Thank you for the recipe. Brownies are a favorite at our house. Also will be checking the table setting.
The egg brownies look delicious. It would be fun to make and bake it.
