Directions

Cadbury Mini Egg Cookie Crust

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream butter and sugars till light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla extract.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and mix to combine.
Mix in cadbury eggs.  If you use a stand mixer like I did, the mixer will break up most of the eggs for you.  If you use a hand mixer, you might have to break them up before adding them.
Line an 8” square pan with parchment paper & spray with nonstick spray.  Spread cookie dough evenly in pan and bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  

Cadbury Mini Egg Cheesecake Bars

Mix cream cheese and sugar in mixer.
Add eggs and vanilla extract.
Add in heavy cream. 
Once the cheesecake is mixed, transfer 1/2 cup of the batter to a separate bowl.  Tint that 1/2 cup of batter pink with food coloring. Set aside for now.
Crush the cadbury mini eggs. You can either do this by pulsing them in a food processor, or putting them in a ziploc and giving them a few good slams with your rolling pin.  
Add the cadbury mini eggs to the batter. Pour cheesecake batter on top of cooled crust. For a little extra insurance, I spray the pan with some nonstick spray again before adding the cheesecake batter.
With that remaining 1/2 cup of pink cheesecake batter: Spoon dollops of it on top of the cheesecake batter and swirl it in with a toothpick.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
Once bars have cooled, refrigerate over night before cutting them.
