Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate (or milk chocolate), chopped
- 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate eggs (Cadbury Mini Eggs or M&Ms), some whole and some crushed
Instructions
- Combine chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until chocolate melts completely and mixture becomes silky smooth.
- Incorporate vanilla extract into the glossy chocolate mixture, stirring until fully integrated.
- Gently crush approximately half of the mini eggs and fold them into the fudge base, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Prepare an 8×8-inch pan by lining it 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 and crushed mini eggs across the top of the fudge, pressing them gently to secure.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours or until the fudge sets completely and becomes firm to the touch.
- Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the fudge from the pan and slice into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Choose high-quality milk or dark chocolate for a richer, more decadent fudge that melts smoothly and provides deeper flavor complexity.
- Gently crush mini eggs with a rolling pin to create varied texture, allowing some pieces to remain chunky while others become fine crumbs for visual interest.
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect soft, melt-in-your-mouth consistency that isn’t too hard or too soft.
- Swap regular chocolate for dairy-free alternatives and use condensed coconut milk to make this treat suitable for those with lactose sensitivities or following vegan diets.
