I don’t know about your family, but Mini Eggs are definitely the favourite Easter candy at our house. Besides just snacking on the tasty little morsels during movies and while playing board games, we also love to bake with our top chocolatey holiday treat!

Mini Egg fans will love our Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies, Easy Easter Cupcakes and Rice Krispie Birds Nest treats too! 

HOW TO MAKE MINI EGG COOKIE BARS:

1. Combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

2. Combine wet ingredients: Place butter and both sugars to a large mixing bowl and beat well until creamed together. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

3. Add chocolate: Stir chopped Mini Eggs into the dough. Press dough into a greased 9×13” pan and place a few extra Mini Egg halves to the top of the dough to make sure each square has one or two.

4. Bake: Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes, ours was perfect at 22 minutes.  Remove pan from oven and let cool completely. Pull up on the sides of parchment paper to easily remove bars from the pan and cut into squares.

COOKIE BAR FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS & TIPS:

Make ahead: The cookie bar dough can be made 2-3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

To freeze: To freeze cookie bars, you’ll need to bake them first. Once baked, allow bars to cool completely and cut them into squares.  Place squares into a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Raw cookie dough can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
