Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it becomes golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy, then add the eggs and mix until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, pastel M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Cover 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 into the prepared pan, optionally pressing additional M&M’s and chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
Gently press the halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs on top while the bars are still hot. Let cool completely before cutting.

Notes

For best texture, ensure the browned butter is cooled to room temperature before mixing.
You can add more chocolate chips or M&M’s on top for added decoration. Chill the dough to prevent spreading during baking.
Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
