How to make No-Bake Cadbury Egg Fudge
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped Cadbury Crème Eggs (approximately 4-5 eggs)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (optional for texture)
- A pinch of salt
Directions:
- Begin by preparing an 8×8-inch square baking dish. Line the dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. This will help you lift the fudge out once it’s set.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. This will create a creamy base for your fudge.
- Using a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk mixture in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds on high power, then remove and stir. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn; this should take about 1-2 minutes total.
- Once melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury Crème Eggs and mini marshmallows into the chocolate mixture. If you’re using crushed graham crackers for added texture, fold them in at this stage as well. Make sure the mix is evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the dish, smoothing the top to create an even surface.
- Once the fudge is evenly spread, cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- After the fudge has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board.
- With a sharp knife, cut the fudge into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
- Serve immediately or store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy your delicious no-bake Cadbury Egg Fudge!
