    To make my regular blondie recipe even better, I added some pastel colored M&M's to make an Easter Blondies Recipe. These blondies are AMAZING! Seriously, the gooeyness and addition of the chocolate knock these out of the park. These are one of my favorite easy snacks for Easter!

    These blondies are not just delicious, but they’re also super festive. The pastel M&M’s add a colorful touch that’s perfect for Easter celebrations, whether you’re hosting brunch or heading to a family gathering. For another fun easter treat, try our Easter Nest Rice Krispie Treats.

    Why You'll Love Easter Blondies

    • Festive and colorful: Pastel M&Ms add a pop of color that’s perfect for celebrating spring and Easter. They make this dessert bright, cheerful, and ideal for any holiday gathering.
    • Rich and gooey texture: These blondies are soft in the center with just the right amount of chewiness. The buttery base mixed with chocolatey goodness takes each bite to the next level.
    • Perfect for using leftover candy: Got extra Easter candy lying around? Easy desserts like this recipe are a fun and tasty way to use up M&Ms, mini eggs, or even chopped-up chocolates from those Easter baskets.
    • Quick and easy to bake: The recipe only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. It’s simple enough for last-minute dessert ideas but still earns compliments every time.
    • Family-friendly fun: Get the kids involved! They’ll have a blast mixing the dough and pressing colorful M&Ms into the top of the batter before baking.
    • Customizable for any occasion: Swap the pastel M&Ms for seasonal or regular ones, or mix in extras like white chocolate chips or sprinkles to suit your mood or event.

    Blondie Recipes

    Blondie recipes are super popular because they’re easy to make and bring a fun twist to dessert time. Unlike brownies, they don’t use cocoa or chocolate. Instead, blondies have a rich, buttery taste with vanilla and brown sugar that remind me of a softer, chewier cookie.

    They’re perfect if you’re craving something sweet but not overly chocolatey. If you haven’t tried them yet, Banana Blondies and Gingerbread Blondies are two great places to start.

    What makes blondies even more fun is how customizable they are. You can toss in anything from nuts and candies to white chocolate or sprinkles. Recipes like Funfetti White Chocolate Blondies or even a festive Red White and Blue Blondies Recipe show just how creative you can get.

    Ingredients For Easter Blondies Recipe

    To make this Easter dessert, you will need flour, baking powder, salt, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and pastel colored M&Ms.

    While these ingredients make the most AMAZING blondies, adding ½ cup of white chocolate chips will really take these over the top! If you love blondies, give our Maple Blondies Recipe a try to experience blondies in a whole new way.

    Supplies for Easter Blondies

    To make blondies, you don’t need a ton of fancy equipment. A mixing bowl, a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, and a whisk will get you through the mixing process just fine. You’ll also need a 9x13 pan. If you have a hand mixer, it can help, but honestly, blondies are simple enough to mix by hand!

    How to Make Easter Blondie Recipe

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour flour, salt and baking soda into a medium bowl and whisk together. Melt butter and pour it into a large bowl. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to bowl with melted butter.

    Mix together until thoroughly combined. Add 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the melted butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

    Add dry ingredients to bowl with wet ingredients. Gently fold flour mixture into the wet ingredients, taking care not to over mix. Pour most of the M&M candies into the batter.

    Gently fold in the M&Ms to evenly distribute them.

    Spread the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Press some M&Ms into the top of the batter.

    Bake the Easter blondies in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You want to be sure to take them out when they have browned on top but are still a little gooey in the middle. Remove from oven and let cool and cut them into bars.

    Tips for Spring Blondies

    Tip 1: Use pastel-colored candies or sprinkles to give your blondies that festive Easter look. M&M’s, mini eggs, or even chopped-up Easter-themed chocolates work great for adding color and extra flavor.

    Tip 2: Lining your baking pan with parchment paper makes cleanup so much easier and helps when it’s time to lift the blondies out to cut them into squares. It also keeps the edges from sticking to the pan.

    Tip 3: For a little extra sweetness and texture, swirl in some white chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the top after baking. It’s an easy step that makes your blondies a extra special.

    FAQs for Making Blondies

    I don't have pastel M&M's. Can I use regular ones?

    Yes, those work just as well, but they will have a little less of a spring feel.

    How to store blondies?

    You can store these blondies in an airtight container for 3-4 days. If you refrigerate them, they will last a week. You can freeze the blondies for up to 3 months. To thaw, place on the counter for 2-3 hours.

    Does it matter if I use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar in blondies?

    No, use whatever you have on hand.

    Our Easter Blondies Recipes is so simple to whip up, you don’t need to stress about spending hours in the kitchen. Just mix, bake, and you’ve got a tray of treats that’ll have everyone asking for the recipe!
