Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat while stirring constantly until it becomes golden brown and nutty. Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
In a larger bowl, mix the cooled browned butter with the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Then, add the eggs and combine well.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just blended.
Incorporate the chocolate chips, M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs into the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan by spraying or lining it with parchment paper.
Spread the chilled dough evenly in the pan. Optionally, reserve some M&M’s and chocolate chips to place on top.
Bake the bars for 18-22 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Do not overbake!
Press the halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs on top right after removing from the oven while the bars are still hot. Allow them to cool completely before cutting.

Notes

For a richer flavor, ensure the butter is properly browned, giving the bars a nutty depth.
Chilling the dough is key for achieving the best texture, so don’t skip that step.
Pressing the Cadbury eggs on top while the bars are warm helps them to stick without melting completely.
