Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 c. butter softened
  • 1 c. brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 c. smooth and creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 c. old fashioned oats
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 9 oz. package milk chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs They've made the packaging smaller, so feel free to buy two packages and use however much you'd like of the second package. I wished I had.

Method
 

  1. Grease a 9"x13" pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, peanut butter and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together oats, flour, baking soda and salt.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between.
  5. Crush 1 c. of Cadbury Mini Eggs and stir them into the dough.
  6. Press the dough into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with whole Cadbury Mini Eggs (the rest of the package and more if you'd like) and press them slightly into the top of the dough.
  7. Bake for approximately 17-19 minutes, or just until the cookie bars are set and not jiggly or gooey. Be careful not to over bake. Allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack, then slice and serve.
