Colorful Easter Fudge brings festive sweetness to springtime celebrations, melding creamy chocolate with crisp mini egg crunch. Sweet memories bloom with each delightful bite you’ll savor during holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate (or milk chocolate), chopped
- 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate eggs (Cadbury Mini Eggs or M&Ms)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe bowl and combine chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate melts completely and mixture becomes silky smooth. Incorporate vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- Gently crush half of the mini eggs, reserving some whole pieces for garnishing. Fold the crushed and whole mini eggs into the molten chocolate mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal. Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to create an even surface.
- Artfully arrange the remaining whole mini eggs on top of the fudge, pressing them lightly to secure their position. Ensure decorative placement for visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the pan for approximately 2 hours or until the fudge achieves a firm, solid consistency. The cooling process will help the fudge set perfectly.
- Once fully chilled, lift the parchment paper to remove the fudge from the pan. Using a sharp knife, slice the fudge into bite-sized, uniform squares for serving.
Notes
- Choose high-quality chocolate for a richer, smoother fudge texture that melts perfectly.
- Crush mini eggs partially to distribute flavor and create interesting visual texture throughout the fudge.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even melting and smooth chocolate consistency.
- Refrigerate fudge in an airtight container for up to one week, allowing flavors to develop and maintain freshness.
