Hey guys! Jenn here again from Clean and Scentsible. Like many of you, I have been counting down the last days of winter and am so excited that today I finally get to say Happy Spring! I am SO ready for some warmer weather, longer days, and pretty spring blooms. Now that spring is here, Easter will soon be around the corner and I have a yummy treat to share with you today with my all-time favorite chocolate – mini-eggs!
These mini-egg dessert bars are super easy to make – the trick is to not eat all of the mini-eggs before you get around to actually making them!
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup mini eggs
- ¾ cup chopped nuts {I used walnuts}
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Mix in the butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla and stir until well blended.
- Add the mini-eggs, chocolate chips, and nuts.
- Prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool and cut into squares.
If you are looking for a fun Easter gift idea, the dry ingredients for these bars can be packaged up in a mason jar and would make a nice little hostess gift or treat for your favorite teacher or neighbor.
Just layer the ingredients in a 1 quart mason jar as follows:
- flour, baking powder, salt
- sugar
- mini-eggs
- chocolate chips and nuts
I have also created some printables to help you dress up your jars – there is a Bunny Bars label for the front and baking instructions for the back.
Just head over to Clean and Scentsible to download them!
