M&M Blondie Bars Recipe for Easter

Every month, I join 11 other bloggers to bring you 12 delicious recipes with 12 ingredients or less. We tend to stick to a monthly theme, and this month’s theme is Spring Treats, which was perfect for my M&M Blondie Bars Recipe for Easter!

I was so excited for this month’s theme because a) I actually had time to get creative in the kitchen and do some fun baking, and b) I love Springtime!

I have always loved brownies, and just recently discovered how easy it is to make blondies. Sure, they might lack the rich chocolaty goodness that we all know and love in brownies, but they are so rich and decadent, and they make it so easy to incorporate other flavors.

M&M Blondie Bars Recipe for Easter

Unlike with brownies, when you are making a recipe for blondies, you can add just about anything into the blondies dough and the flavor really shines through! The lack of a chocolate base allows other flavors to take front and center.

Of course, I still absolutely LOVE brownies, and Angeline and I love to make them quite often, but blondies are a whole different ballgame!

Easter M&M Chocolate Chip Blondie Bars Recipe Directions

You are going to begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.

This recipes makes between 12 and 24 bars, depending on what size you cut them into. I prefer a smaller blondie bar, so that they are a little less of a guilty treat, so my servings are usually 24.

When making this Easter M&M Chocolate Chip Blondie Bars Recipe for company or to take to a gathering, it is better to cut them into 12 servings.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla until they are thoroughly combined.

Gradually add in the the flour, then your baking powder and salt, beating lightly until combined.

Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s – do not beat them into the mixture, as you want them to be whole!

Pour your batter into your greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and then put into the refrigerator for about half an hour.

Tip: I always refrigerate my bars and brownies before serving because it makes it so much easier to cut into bars without them crumbling to bits.

Springtime Instant Pot Soda Cake Recipe

I have made a lot of sweet snack ideas on The Rebel Chick over the years, and this Springtime Cake Batter Puppy Chow Recipe happens to be one of my favorite recipes that I have shared. It’s so fun and pretty! I tried a regular muddy buddies recipe shortly before my friend Kari created this recipe for me, and I have to admit, I will probably use her recipe over mine on most occasions. Ha! 

Of course, an Easy Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe is suitable for serving year round, but it is especially fun to serve as a dessert at your family’s Easter dinner or picnic!

I also really love to serve a nice coffee cake as a lighter style dessert when I have friends over for a lady’s night in. It’s perfectly served with decaf coffee or tea before the ladies head home for the evening.

If you are a fan of light, sweet cookies, this Easter Shortbread Cookies Recipe is just PERFECT for you!

These cookies are really easy to make and you can use whatever food coloring you like to change the style of the cookies. So the recipe is really suitable for any occasion.

And who can go wrong with this Mini Lemon Cheesecakes Recipe? They are just so cute and so tasty!

They are perfect for spring and summertime get togethers, especially for backyard barbecues. They’re so light and refreshing, they’ll be warmly received during hot summer weather.
