My Mini Egg Chocolate-Covered Blondies are blondies using muscovado sugar, with mini eggs in the mixture, and then a thick layer of chocolate on top, topped with more crushed mini eggs.
I baked these last weekend with my children.
The younger one, who is three, really enjoys standing on a chair and helping with making dinner or baking, while the older one, who is seven, seems to only like baking cakes. Who can blame her really.
She did get a cookbook for her birthday recently and is keen to make some recipes from there, so that is promising.
So our latest bake is an Easter one again, this time with mini eggs, well actually these were the smaller micro eggs from the supermarket this time.
Perfect for an Easter treat! The thick layer of chocolate cracks as you bite through to the soft cakey layer below, and the mini eggs add a splash of colour.
All the lucky testers at home loved this, as you can imagine.
The chocolate layer, which was very thick in the centre where the blondies dipped a little after baking, was my favourite part.
It was very easy to snap a bit off the edge to nibble on. Perhaps too easy!
Maybe next time I’ll just make some chocolate bark… Anyway, back to the blondies, and you’ll find the recipe below.
This recipe doesn’t take long to make and my kids loved it so why not bake some mini egg blondies this Easter!

This week has been wall-to-wall chocolate and chocolate eggs but these blondies would definitely go some way towards using some of it up! Thanks for linking up with #CookBlogShare
