What is a Blondie vs Brownie?

The main difference between brownies and blondie bars lies in their ingredients. While both are considered “bar cookies,” brownies typically contain cocoa powder, making them chocolatey and rich in flavor. On the other hand, blondies don’t use cocoa powder at all – instead they rely on light ingredients like vanilla or butterscotch to provide an irresistibly sweet taste

A good brownie usually have a dense chewy texture that melts in your mouth. On the contrary, buttery blondies are typically less dense and more cake-like with a soft crumb that literally just melts away!

Dollop the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread it to the edges of the pan. Add about a handful of additional M&Ms and sprinkles to the top of the blondies.

Put your Easter bars in the oven for a baking time of 25-30 minutes in the oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the chewy blondies are golden brown on top.

How to Store Your Easter Blondie Recipe

Let your blondies cool completely in the baking pan before removing them and storing them. This helps to prevent condensation from forming inside the storage container. Place the blondies in an airtight container, such as a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag for up to a week.

FAQS About The Best Easter Blondies

Why are my blondies falling apart?

Blondies falling apart can be due to a few factors:

  • Overmixing the batter can lead to a dense and crumbly texture.
  • Blondies need to be baked until just set in the center. Underbaking can cause them to be too soft and prone to falling apart.
  • Allowing blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing can help them firm up and hold their shape.
  • Using the wrong pan size can also impact the texture of the blondies. If the pan is too large, the batter may spread too thin and become fragile.

Are Blondies meant to be gooey in the middle?

Blondies can vary in texture, with some recipes aiming for a slightly gooey center while others prefer a firmer consistency. Traditionally, blondies are denser and chewier than cookies but not as gooey as brownies. The desired texture ultimately depends on personal preference and the specific recipe being used, with experimentation in baking times and ingredients helping to achieve the desired outcome.

Happy baking!

I just made these. Easy recipe and the results are very good. I had miniature Easter Eggs, not M&M's. I should have cut them a bit, but overall I really like this recipe and will use again. Thank you.
