Let’s get into the key ingredients for these Mini Easter Egg Blondies

Light Brown Sugar- The molasses in the brown sugar add flavour to the blondies.

Vanilla Extract– Pure extract adds flavour to the blondie batter.

Tips for making these Blondies
Before you start baking , prepare your square baking tin by greasing and then lining with baking or parchment paper. Leave an overhang to make removing the blondie from the tin easy. If you haven’t got baking paper, lightly grease and flour the sides and bottom of your cake tin.
Measure your ingredients with a scale. They provide more accurate results Measuring via volume can produce different results. Incorrectly measured dry ingredients (like flour) will make the blondies dry.
Use a combination of light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Dark brown sugar can also be used in place of light brown.
Brown your melted butter. This adds a nutty flavour to the batter. The melted butter also produces a blondie which is both buttery and chewy. Allow the melted butter to cool before before adding the eggs to it.
Use room temperature eggs. They disperse more evenly into the batter.
Crush some of the mini eggs and add to the batter. Gently press some whole mini eggs into the batter.
Blondies are slightly under baked. Leave to cool for at least an hour before cutting into bars.
