04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
05 - Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing until just combined.
06 - Gently fold in Easter egg candies and chocolate chips (if using).
07 - Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Press extra Easter egg candies on top for decoration.
08 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
09 - Allow to cool completely in the pan, then lift out using the parchment overhang. Slice into bars and serve.
