🔪 How to make Creme Egg blondies
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Beat together the melted butter and sugars until pale and fluffy.
Two: Beat in the egg.
Three: Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Four: Mix in the frozen mini creme eggs and chocolate chips.
Five: Spoon into the prepared tin and top with the halved creme eggs.
Six: Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
Seven: Once cooled, drizzle with the milk and white chocolate.
💭 Top tips
- Don't skip freezing the creme eggs, especially the large ones for the topping! They are much easier to cut in half when frozen. If you try cutting them at room temperature you will be left with a sticky mess!
- Make sure the melted butter has cooled for at least 5 minutes before combining it with the sugar.
- Don't overmix the blondie batter. Gently does it!
- Don't overbake the blondies. There should still be a slight wobble in the middle when you take them out of the oven. They will set fully once cooled.
🍴 Serving suggestions
I often make these blondies for Easter bake sales and parties, along with my creme egg tiffin, mini egg cookie bars, Easter rocky road, and mini egg tiffin.
I also serve it up for an easy dessert with mini egg ice cream or honeycomb ice cream.

📖 Variations
- Swap the chocolate chips for broken Easter egg chocolate.
- Swap the creme eggs for mini eggs and make mini egg blondies!
- Use orange zest instead of vanilla extract to flavour the blondies...or why not try my chocolate orange blondies instead?
- Finish with orange or purple colour sprinkles and top with more halved creme eggs to make them look extra pretty!
🥡 Storage
To Store: The blondies will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To Freeze: Blondies freeze really well. Place the sliced blondie bars into a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
❓ FAQs
The main difference is chocolate. Brownies are made with chocolate and/or cocoa powder in the batter, giving them that wonderful dark brown colour, and blondies are not (although they often have white chocolate in them).
They'll start to pull away from the sides of the tin and the edges will be a golden brown colour. Be careful not to overcook your blondies or they might turn out dry and cakey rather than soft and fudgy.
Creme eggs made by Cadbury consist of a milk chocolate shell with soft fondant center. They taste very sweet.
The secret is to freeze the creme eggs overnight so that they don't collapse on cutting. Take them out of the freezer and cut down the seam with a very sharp knife. Try to do this as quickly as possible so they don't thaw out and become too soft to cut.
