Cadbury Mini Eggs and M&M’S Easter Cookie Bars

March 29, 2017 by Melissa Leave a Comment

Cadbury Mini Eggs and M&M'S Easter Cookie Bars

These cookie bars are one of the favorite recipes! The combination of crunchy colorful M&M’S and that ultra delicious Cadbury Egg chocolate in this Easter version makes it even better! What does Cadbury put in their chocolate that makes it so addictive? Whatever it is, these cookies are loaded with it! Since the chocolate eggs are heavy, I crushed them and baked them in the cookie dough. Then added more chocolate eggs to the top of  the cookies bars once they were baked so you can see the pretty whole chocolate eggs!

Before baking, I crushed a 10 oz bag of Cadbury Mini Chocolate Eggs in a plastic storage baggie using my kitchen mallet. Then saved a second bag for topping the cookie bars with. You probably won’t use the entire second bag, but those eggs are perfect for snacking;0)

Before baking, top the cookie dough with additional M&M’S but not the additional chocolate eggs! The chocolate eggs are heavy and will sink down to the bottom while baking.

While the cookie bars are hot from the oven, gently press additional Cadbury Mini Chocolate Eggs into the top then let cool.
