Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups candy-coated chocolate Easter eggs, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
6. Fold in the chopped Easter eggs and chocolate chips.
7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and add a few extra candy pieces on top if desired.
8. Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still soft.
9. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
Do not overbake these bars or they will lose that super soft center, so pull them from the oven when the middle still looks slightly underdone.
