# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of gooey white chocolate chunks and crisp candy shell creates an irresistible texture in every single bite
  • These come together in under an hour but taste like they came from a fancy bakery window display
  • The batter is incredibly forgiving and almost impossible to mess up even if you are new to baking
02 -
  • Underbaking slightly is the secret to gooey blondies so trust the toothpick test with moist crumbs rather than waiting for it to come out completely clean
  • Room temperature ingredients combine better and prevent the batter from seizing or becoming grainy
  • Chopping the mini eggs creates different textures throughout while keeping some whole for the top makes these look absolutely stunning
03 -
  • Chop your mini eggs while they are still cold from the fridge to prevent them from shattering into tiny pieces
  • Line your pan with parchment paper in both directions for foolproof removal every single time
