Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown. Remove from heat and cool for 10-15 minutes.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth, then add eggs and mix until combined.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in chocolate chips, pastel M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs.
Cover the mixture and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Spread the chilled dough evenly in the pan, reserving some chocolate chips and M&M’s for topping if desired.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
Once baked, press halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs on top while still hot. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

For a chewier texture, don’t overmix when incorporating the dry ingredients.
Using room temperature eggs helps the dough come together better and ensures even baking.
Feel free to customize with other candies or nuts if desired.
