Instructions

Prepare the frosting: Cream 1 stick of butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add salt, vanilla, and 3 cups of powdered sugar. Beat on high for 3 minutes until whipped. Chill.

Melt 2 sticks of butter and whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar.

Add eggs, salt, malt powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Fold in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until a soft dough forms.

Roughly chop Biscoff cookies and crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs in a sealed bag.

Stir the cookies, most of the crushed eggs, and chocolate chips into the dough.

Press into a parchment-lined 8×8 dish and bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes.

Cool for at least 45 minutes (or 20 minutes in the fridge).

Spread frosting over the bars and top with remaining crushed Cadbury eggs.

Slice into 16 bars and enjoy.

Notes

• Ensure the butter for the bars is cooled to room temp after melting to avoid scrambling the eggs.

• Do not overbake; the center should look slightly soft when removed from the oven.

• For the cleanest slices, use a hot knife and wipe it between every cut.
