Add-ons & Substitutions

• Swap milk chocolate eggs for dark chocolate candies if you prefer a deeper chocolate flavor

• Use only white chocolate if you want a sweeter, creamier finish

How to Make

Start by browning your butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change. Place the butter over low heat, then move to medium heat as it melts.

Stir or swirl the pan often. The butter will foam, then develop brown specks and a nutty smell.

Once you see those golden brown bits, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. This step builds that rich flavor that makes these blondies stand out.

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line your baking pan with parchment paper so the blondies don’t stick and are easy to lift out later.

In a large bowl, mix the cooled browned butter with the sugars until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing just until combined. The mixture should look glossy and slightly thick.

In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add them to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick blondie batter forms. It will feel dense, which is exactly what you want for chewy blondies.

Use your hands or a spatula to fold in most of the chocolate eggs and white chocolate. Save some for the top so the finished blondies look full of chocolate.

Press the dough evenly into your prepared pan, making sure it reaches the corners. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate candies on top and press them in lightly.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should look set, and the center should still feel slightly soft. This helps keep that chewy texture once they cool.

Let the blondies rest in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper. Allow them to cool completely before cutting so they hold their shape cleanly.

Expert Tips

• Watch the butter closely over medium heat so it doesn’t burn during the cooking process
• Look for brown specks and a nutty smell to know when the butter is ready
• Let the browned butter cool to room temperature before mixing to avoid scrambling the eggs
• Use a small bowl to set aside chocolate candies so you can easily reserve some for topping
• Don’t overbake; a slightly soft center gives you that chewy blondie texture
• Press the batter evenly for even baking and clean slices

Frequently Asked Questions
