These delicious and dense white chocolate blondies (with Mini Eggs thrown in for good measure) are to die for! Delicious treat and not only for Easter!
With Easter around the corner and shedload of recipes on the web using either Mini or Creme Eggs already, I felt it was my responsibility to you my lovely readers to jump on the bandwagon and share my White Chocolate Blondies with Mini Eggs! You're welcome!
I based this recipe on my White Chocolate & Almond Blondies with Raspberries which has been really popular on the blog. These Easter themed blondies don't contain any almonds as the previous recipe and are definitely less light and cakey but more brownie-like, dense and stodgy (in a very good way).
Initially, I couldn't quite decide whether to use whole Mini Eggs or bash them about a bit. I decided on giving them whack or two and I'm glad I did. Crushed Mini Eggs can be distributed through blondie batter more evenly plus you never know what you're gonna get with your next bite. Is it going to be a whole egg, the chocolatey middle or a sweet shell? To top it all off, there is a generous sprinkle of white chocolate chips on the top of the blondies, just cause I felt like it!
Why would I recommend baking these White Chocolate Blondies with Mini Eggs?
Despite all that chocolate these blondies aren't overly sweet and sickly. They really aren't! I started of with 200g of Mini Eggs at hand but by the time it came to bashing them with the rolling pin, I only had 150g left due to necessary quality control exercise. Ooops! We felt (myself and my little helpers and personal tasters) that this quantity was quite adequate but by all means feel free to adjust it to your preferences.
It is such a quick and easy bake and brilliant one to do with your kids too as it doesn't require fancy machinery and your only tools are a heatproof bowl and a wooden spoon!
Irresistible White Chocolate Blondies with Mini Eggs! They are soo good, even one of the Mini Eggs went rogue and decided to help itself! 😉
Few useful tips!
Always use best possible quality white chocolate! The better quality the better results plus less chance for it splitting!
I do highly recommend melting white chocolate in the heatproof bowl over the pan of lightly simmering water as opposed to in the microwave as you can be more in control. My bitter experience with white chocolate and microwave is exactly that - bitter as I burn it every time!!! Do what you would normally do though, that's just my experience.
You could also melt white chocolate and butter in a pan over a low heat stirring at all times. Do make sure, however, that you don't take your eyes of that pan as it takes seconds for disaster to strike!
One last advice would be make sure you stock up on Mini Eggs!!! I can't stress it enough lol (especially if you are baking with your kiddos)! I think the reason why is pretty self-explanatory.
Now, without further ado!

Sandhya Hariharan says
This a fabulous easter treat!! I will have to keep myself away from this recipe for now, else might end up baking it at midnight!!
joskitchenlarder says
Thank you Sandhya! 🙂 I like the sound of midnight baking, that could become a thing!
Jill says
I love Easter candy way too much, especially Cadbury eggs. Wish I could grab a couple of these through the computer screen!
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Jill! 🙂 I wish I could send some your way! 🙂

Thank you Luci! 🙂 I'm glad you like them. 🙂

I have a problem with this recipe. I keep on making these blondies, but they keep DISAPPEARING too quickly! They are delicious.
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Ben! 🙂 That's a great problem to have! 😉
Veena Azmanov says
Surely an amazing treat for a party. This looks delicious and love the mini eggs in it too. Cute and unique idea for Easter.
joskitchenlarder says
Thank you Veena! 🙂 They are definitely great for parties as so easy to cut into bite sized morsels if need be.
choclette says
Mmmm, I can't resist a blondie and adding mini eggs makes them sound even more irresistible. I bet you were popular with the kids 😀 Thanks for sharing with #WeShouldCocoa.
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks! 🙂 They were very popular with the kids indeed although I must admit that both myself and hubby had a lion share of second batch lol 🙂
Angela / Only Crumbs Remain says
Haha, I'm just the same with mini eggs Jo - as soon as I open the packet I've inhaled more than I should - they're just so so yummy! What a great way to include them in a bake too - I can just imagine how divine it must taste 🙂 Thankyou too for linking up with #BakingCrumbs.

joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Angela! 🙂 There is something about Mini Eggs isn't there, couple is never enough lol These blondies taste so good with Mini Eggs added. We've pretty much inhaled them too lol 🙂 xx
Kirsty Hijacked By Twins says
Yes please! These look and sound like our ideal Easter treat, the kids, and I, would love them! Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare x
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Kirsty! 🙂 They are so moreish and have a tendency to mysteriously disappear too 😉 x
Kat (The Baking Explorer) says
What a fab bake for Easter!
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Kat! ?
Mandy says
What a lovely decadent Easter treat! My kids would LOVE to make these. Sadly being my children they'll most likely be helping me make low sugar hot cross buns instead!!
joskitchenlarder says
Lol thanks Mandy! 🙂 I do like the sound of your low sugar hot cross buns plus there must be a balance when it comes to indulgent treats (even around Easter) so it's all good 🙂
Jacqui says
Oh Yum! I don't think I really need to say any more as that just about sums these up .
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Jacqui 🙂
Jenny Walters says
Wowsers-delicious Easter city!!A sure fire hit with my kids.Fab pics too.Pinned!xx
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks so much! xx
Donna says
Oh these look yum! We make brownies all the time, but rarely blondies, now I'm not sure why! #CookBlogShare
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Donna! 🙂 I ask myself that question all the time when I see certain recipes on other bloggers' pages lol These are really yummy and moreish and very brownie-like in their dense texture so I'm pretty sure they would go down a treat 🙂 x
Cat | Curly's Cooking says
It's so hard to come up with new Easter recipes because it seems to be the time of year when people bake the most! These look so yummy. I've never made blondies and seeing recipes like yours makes me realise I need to get baking!
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Cat! 🙂 It is so hard to come up with original bakes around Easter isn't it! It's all about chocolate and Mini or Creme Eggs lol. We do love blondies, my kids especially, and make them as often if not more than brownies. It's definitely worth giving them a go 🙂 x
Jenny Paulin says
no way! I made some of these myself but have not yet shared the recipe on my blog! We are mini egg blondie twins! Yours look delicious and as a fellow big lover of all things mini egg I would LOVE these! It is hard to not eat any as your bake with them though, isn't it? LOL
thank you for sharing with #Bakeoftheweek x
joskitchenlarder says
Ha ha, I think it's unavoidable especially around this time of year when everybody bakes with either creme or mini eggs 🙂 The more the merrier my mini egg blondie twin 😉 lol xx
Corina Blum says
These look delicious Jo! I do have that same problem whenever I get mini eggs though - I never have quite as many in the bake as I'd planned and if I don't hide them before I use them then there are usually none left. My husband and kids love them! Thanks so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Corina! 🙂 It's funny how that happens isn't it? 😉 One thing I find interesting when it comes to Mini Eggs is despite the fact we all love them I only tend to buy them around Easter time and hardly ever at other times. I suppose it might be my way of sharing the love amongst all the other treats and trying not to overindulge. lol x
