These Quick Chewy Easter M&M Blondies are a fast, festive treat with a chewy, buttery texture and colorful candy bursts, perfect for any spring gathering or holiday celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) Easter M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove until just melted but not browned. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk until combined and slightly glossy, about 1 minute.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Gently fold in the Easter M&Ms, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the reserved M&Ms on top.
  9. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Notes

Use good-quality butter like Kerrygold for best flavor. For smaller candy pieces, mini M&Ms work well to distribute color evenly. To prevent M&Ms from melting too much on top, add some halfway through baking. Chilling blondies after cooling helps with cleaner slicing. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
