- Preheat your oven to 350F. Make sure to move the rack to the middle position; this will ensure even cooking. A well-preheated oven is key for perfectly baked bars.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. It's ideal to let it cool for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. This helps avoid cooking the egg when mixed.
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with tin foil and spray it with non-stick spray. This makes for easy removal of the bars later. Trust me; you’ll appreciate this little step!
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to the bowl with the melted butter. Stir until it's smooth and well combined. This mixture should look glossy; it's the base of your delicious cookie bars.
- Next, gently stir in the baking powder and all-purpose flour. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are fine. You want to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Now, fold in the white chocolate chips and the Cadbury Mini Eggs. If you want, you can even crush the mini eggs slightly for a more dispersed candy throughout.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly so that it bakes uniformly.
- Pop it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out mostly clean without large clumps of raw batter.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for at least 30 minutes. This cooling period helps set the bars, making them easier to cut.
- Finally, cut into squares and enjoy! Serve these bars warmed or at room temperature; they’re delightful either way.
Notes
These squares will keep in an airtight container for a few days.
