Instructions

- In a large heatproof bowl, melt the butter for 30-50secs in the microwave and beat in the sugars until smooth and thickened.
- Thoroughly beat in the egg, vanilla extract and salt.
- Sieve in the flour and cornflour, stirring until just combined.

- Allow the blondie to cool fully in the tin before removing, then cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes
Storage: Keep creme egg blondies in an airtight container at room temp. for up to 4 days. For a chewy firm blondie, store them in the fridge instead.
Freezing: You can freeze your creme egg blondies in an airtight container (or cling film plus foil) for up to 3 months. Defrost then enjoy!
Top tips:
- The cornflour used in this recipe is a white fine flour, not a yellow coarse flour. However, sometimes this is called cornstarch and the yellow version is called cornflour, e.g. in the US, so be sure to pick the white one!
- Beat your sugar-butter-egg mixture thoroughly until it’s thickened and comes together to a smooth mixture.
- Refrigerate your blondie before you cut it so it's easier to slice through the creme eggs without squishing your soft blondie.
- The mini version of Creme Eggs is best, but you can use the regular size of Cadbury's Creme Eggs instead and chop them into 4-5 pieces.
- You can swap the cornflour for more plain all-purpose (same amount).
- You can swap the milk chocolate chips for white or dark semi-sweet chips.
- You can swap the 8-inch square pan for a 9-inch square pan and reduce the baking time by 5mins.
- Double up the recipe and bake these blondies in a large brownie tin for 30-35mins, (e.g. 9inch x 13inch brownie pan).
