    Easter candy is one of my favorite candies because of Cadbury Creme Eggs. I said it, I meant it, and you're not going to change my mind. Those delicious eggs are absolutely the best treat of any season bar none. That chocolaty shell surrounding that delicious creme. Mmmmm. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
     
    There seems to be quite a love/hate relationship with people who either love the eggs or hate them, but I really do think that eating them once per year is such a shame! This is why I created this simple recipe to make chocolate fudge...because I wanted to literally have my fudge and eggs, combined! 
     
    And I think that once you have a bite, you're going to agree that you've been giving Cadbury Creme Eggs a hard time for no reason at all. In fact, dare I say that this might just become your new favorite way to make fudge?! I do dare. And I think I'm right. 
     
    Who am I kidding? I KNOW I'm right. Whenever I make this delicious chocolate fudge filled with the delicious flavor of Cadbury Creme Eggs, my guests get extra excited. This has become a bit of a signature Easter treat with me, and everyone knows that if I'm coming to an Easter get-together, I'll be bringing this with me. 
     
    Let me tell you, everyone is always so happy to see me arrive with a tray full of this fudge. I love it, but it also makes me wonder if they're only happy to see me because of the fudge! I'm just kidding. A little, anyway.

    How To Make Chocolate Fudge with Cadbury Creme Eggs

    This is literally the perfect Easter recipe to have on hand this time of year. The ingredients needed are simple and you can easily find Cadbury Creme Eggs at any store, gas station, or shop around. I have to be honest, when Easter rolls around, I hoard these eggs. I put them in this fudge, but I also just put them in my mouth! I can seriously eat an entire bag of those delicious eggs all by myself. 

    That's not hyperbole. I've done it. That being said, my stomach wasn't happy with me, so I decided the better bet was to put them in this delicious fudge recipe.

    Since the eggs are the star of the show, get ready to love that familiar taste as well. Every year when I take my first bite of my Cadbury Creme Eggs, I'm instantly transported back to my childhood thinking about all the Easter Egg hunts I did. 

    Good memories and good candy are what inspired this choco fudge recipe today!

    How to Make Chocolate Fudge

    It's incredibly easy to make this chocolate fudge. All you need to do is soften your butter, melt your chocolate, and then mix. That's it. It takes next to no time at all, and you don't even have to fire up your oven. It's probably the easiest kind of sweet treat you'll ever make. Here are the highlights. 

    • Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper
    • Mix softened butter, sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add flour (read the full recipe for more details on this step)
    • Stir
    • Add condensed milk and stir
    • Add melted chocolate and stir until completely mixed
    • Spread fudge mix evenly in pan and refrigerate until firm
    • Cut into squares

    That's it! This Cadbury fudge recipe is so quick and easy to make, it's almost unbelievable. BUT you should believe it. It's super simple. With a recipe this easy, it's so simple to create something that everyone will want more and more of without having to do more and more work in the kitchen on that special holiday get-together.

    This is the perfect Easter treat and will be loved by kids and adults. The rich flavor is one that won't be forgotten anytime soon. The best part about this fudge? You can whip it up ahead of time and have it waiting to serve. 
     
    Anytime I can get ahead of the game and have a dessert like this ready for guests, I'm ecstatic because it saves me so much time! That's what I love about this recipe. It's rich and delicious, and everyone loves it. I love that I can whip up a batch super fast. 
     
    That means that I'll also get to visit with my guests and hang out with them while they're here instead of being in the kitchen cooking and baking the day away. Don't get me wrong. I love to cook, and I'm in the kitchen a lot, but on special days like Easter and other family get-togethers, I want the bulk of my time to be spent with my family, not in the kitchen.

    What is the best way to store fudge?

    As long as you keep the fudge out of the extreme heat, you should be fine to keep it stored on your counter or in your fridge at home. Either option is fine and it's totally up to you. 
     
    The main thing to keep in mind when it comes to storing fudge is that you don't have to store it in the fridge. Many people think you do, but you don't. And it makes sense because if you've ever stepped foot inside a fudge shop where they make and sell fudge, they always have it setting out and never in the fridge or freezer. 
     
    Just make certain that you have it in a storage container so that it stays as fresh as possible. You want to protect your fudge from excess moisture. Keeping it in an airtight container ensures both its flavor and texture remain as perfect as possible for as long as possible.
     
    You can also freeze fudge. It actually freezes quite well. To freeze it, wrap the individual fudge pieces in cling wrap to ensure that every piece is protected while being stored in the fridge. After wrapping the pieces, put them in a heavy-duty freezer bag. 
     
    To thaw out your fudge, simply place it in the refrigerator overnight. Be aware that freezing fudge may change its texture slightly, but it's still delicious. DO NOT, however, thaw your fudge at room temperature, it needs to thaw very slowly to remain delicious.

    Fun Variations to add to this Easter fudge recipe

    Here's the deal with fudge. It's so versatile! This means that if you want to change things up a bit, go for it. It really won't alter the flavor too much and you can easily make it seem like you have a whole new fudge recipe as well.

    For that reason, it's one of my favorite sweet treats to make. I love the idea of being able to take a recipe like this and just play with it, trying new add-ins, different colors, and even toppings. It's one of those recipes that can be transformed into dozens of variations with a little creativity.

    Some simple ways that you can easily change up the fudge are:

    • Change the color of sprinkles
    • Add in chopped nuts
    • Mix in sweetened coconut
    • Drizzle caramel or hot fudge on top

    And those are just a few of the fun ideas! Fudge is very forgiving in most things so as long as it's a flavor and taste that you love, there's a good chance it's going to taste great in the fudge recipe. 

    What happens if the fudge doesn't set?

    There might be a few reasons for this. The first is that you didn't give it long enough in the fridge. 6 hours is really the minimum but overnight is going to be your best bet. The longer you leave it in the fridge, the more that it's going to set up and be ready to eat. 

    The other reason is that maybe the ingredients didn't get combined or stirred quite properly. Make certain you're following the recipe below to make the best fudge possible. 

    Tips for making DIY fudge 

    Make certain that you line your baking pan or dish with parchment paper. This will save you so much headache and clean up time later! Also, have your parchment paper hanging over the sides of the dish as this will help you take it out once it's done firming up. 
     
    You're also going to want to be certain to melt the chocolate really well, too. This can take a little bit of extra time but it's worth it. No one wants to find a lump of chocolate in their fudge! Fudge is meant to be smooth! 
     
    The fudge will take about 6 hours to firm up so make certain that you plan for that in your day.
