Cadbury Egg Fudge with Chocolate Layers (Print version)

Rich chocolate fudge layered with a sweet white and yellow creme filling, finished with Cadbury Creme Eggs for a fun Easter candy tray.

# Ingredients:

For the chocolate layers

01 - 2 cups (340 g) milk chocolate chips
02 - 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
03 - 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
04 - 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
05 - 1/8 teaspoon fine salt

For the creme filling

06 - 1/4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter, softened
07 - 1/2 cup (160 g) light corn syrup
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 3 cups (360 g) powdered sugar
10 - 1 tablespoon milk, plus more only if needed
11 - Pinch of fine salt
12 - Yellow gel food coloring

For the topping

13 - 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs, chilled and halved or chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment if it does not sit flat.
02 - Beat the softened butter, corn syrup, vanilla, powdered sugar, milk, and salt until smooth and thick. Move about one-third to a small bowl and tint it yellow with gel food coloring.
03 - Combine both chocolates, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
04 - Spread half of the warm chocolate fudge evenly in the prepared pan. Chill for 10 minutes, keeping the remaining chocolate mixture warm and spreadable.
05 - Spread the white filling over the chocolate base. Dollop the yellow filling over it and swirl lightly with a knife without fully blending the colors.
06 - Spread the remaining chocolate fudge over the creme layer. Press chilled Cadbury Creme Egg pieces over the top, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
07 - Lift the slab from the pan. Cut into small squares with a hot dry knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean layers.

# Good to know:

01 - Chill the Cadbury Creme Eggs before cutting so the fondant centers stay neat.
02 - Best served cold or slightly cool, not warm.
03 - Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
