Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs Bunny Bars

I am just going to apologize right now for all the pictures. Something about those uber-delicious-melty-peanut-butter-I-can’t-resist-you Reese’s peanut butter eggs were just begging for lots of pictures 🙂

These Reese’s peanut butter eggs bunny bars are a must-make! Those eggs only come around once a year so it’s the perfect reason to pick yourself up a bag of each and make these fun bunny bars.

The base is an ultra soft, thick, and chewy brown sugar blondie bar. It’s loaded, and I mean loaded with Reese’s peanut butter eggs and those crispy shell (and colorful!) peanut butter eggs.

I took my kids to the dentist the day before these and lets just say I was shocked when none of them (all 3!) did not have any cavities. Yay! It’s always exciting to know you won’t have any dental bills for at least the next 6 months. In my head I was thinking, “oh, if you only knew what they ate yesterday…..”


Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 10 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 9-12 Reese's peanut butter eggs
  • 1 cup crispy shell Reese's peanut butter egg candies

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare 9x13 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkled lightly with flour or lined with tin foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add in eggs and vanilla and blend until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour into the butter mixture and stir with a wooden spoon.
  4. Press 1/2 the dough into the pan (see the tips above in post). Cut the Reese's eggs into small chunks or leave whole, and lay them on top of the dough. Place the remaining cookie dough on top of the Reese's. Gently press the crispy shells eggs on top.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes. When done, the bars will look puffy and the edges will be golden brown. The dough should still be soft in the center as it will finish cooking a bit while cooling.
  6. Allow bars to cool. Eat while a bit warm with ice cream for the ultimate dessert or eat once they're cooled down as a blondie bar.
