Remember last week when I made Squash Chips? Those were healthy. Then I went on a crazy sweets kick. First monkey cupcakes, then chocolate cupcakes filled with vanilla buttercream and now…Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookie Bars.

I was innocently checking out at Target the other night when the Royal Dark Cadbury Mini Eggs started calling my name. I don’t eat the cream filled eggs. Ew.

But the mini eggs? Especially the dark chocolate ones? Those I look forward to every year. I hadn’t even finished eating all the cupcakes yet when I made these.

If you have any leftover, make some Easter Basket Cookie Cups, too.

You wouldn’t even think I was going to Mexico in exactly one month and had have healthy fitness goals.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 ¼ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks butter softened (I always use salted)
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs smashed

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Grease a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan and set aside. I use The Pampered Chef Stoneware pan.
• Put around half of a 10 oz. bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs into a ziploc bag and smash with a rolling pin. Or you could coarsely chop them. I smashed. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda & salt and stir.
• In a large bowl (I used my stand mixer), beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy.
• One at a time, add eggs, beating well after each addition.
• Gradually beat in the flour mixture. I always add it in thirds.
• Stir in the crushed Cadbury eggs.
• Spread into a greased jelly roll pan. I also stuck a few whole Cadbury eggs into the top of the batter.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

Source: I put Cadbury eggs into the Nestle Tollhouse classic recipe

Depending on the size of your jelly roll pan, you may have some extra dough. I typically have enough for six cookies in addition to the bars.
