These blondies are bursting with flavour, combining juicy Del Monte Peach Slices and crunchy mini chocolate eggs for a dessert that’s light, golden, and irresistibly moreish. Better still, it’s the perfect baking project to do with children - no fancy equipment, no advanced techniques, just good old-fashioned fun (and a bit of chocolatey mess, of course!).
Why This Recipe Works for Easter
Easter baking is all about indulgence, colour, and creativity - and these blondies deliver on all three. The golden sponge gets a fruity lift from the peaches, while the speckled mini eggs make it look straight out of a springtime storybook. The recipe is simple enough for little hands to help with, from whisking the batter to decorating the top with mini eggs.
And let’s be honest - it’s also a great way to use up any leftover Easter eggs (if such a thing even exists!).
What You’ll Need
Aside from the pantry basics, all you need is a single tin of Del Monte Peach Slices in Juice, a handful of mini chocolate eggs, and a bit of time – around an hour, start to finish. The result? A golden-brown traybake that slices beautifully into chewy, peach-studded squares.

Step-by-step recipe :
- Melt and whisk butter with brown and caster sugar until smooth and glossy – this makes your blondies extra rich and chewy.
- Stir in eggs and vanilla, followed by flour and a pinch of salt.
- Fold in chopped Del Monte Peach Slices and white chocolate chips for that dreamy flavour combo.
- Pour into a lined tin, bake, and after 20 minutes, press in whole and halved mini eggs for that Easter flair.
- Bake a little longer, let it cool (if you can wait), then slice into perfect squares of joy.
Let the little ones get involved with:
- Chopping peaches (with supervision)
- Stirring the mixture
- Placing and pressing chocolate eggs into the blondie (great for those little creative minds!)
- And, of course, licking the spoon
