Easter Fudge Ingredients

Every bunny will love you when you bring this candy to the Easter egg hunt! As always, you can find the full printable recipe with complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need…

frosting – Both white and chocolate frostings are used in this recipe for the ultimate flavor combo.
chocolate chips – Dark and white chocolate.
cadbury creme eggs – Use the full size ones but cut them into chunks.
vanilla and almond extract – For even more depth in flavor.
cadbury mini eggs – Crushed into small pieces for texture, flavor, and color.
sprinkles – I like to use pastel colors or Easter themed sprinkles to fit the theme.

How to Make Easter Fudge

Prep. Spray an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Leave enough paper to hang over the edges for the easy removal of the fudge once it has set.
Melt frosting. Remove the lid and foil from the frosting containers. Microwave one at a time for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth and liquified. Microwave in additional 15 second intervals until the frosting reaches the correct consistency. Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate frosting and the almond extract to the white. Stir to combine.
Melt chocolate chips. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals (stirring in between) until smooth. Repeat with the white chocolate chips.
Combine. Add the chocolate frosting into the melted dark chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Repeat with the white frosting and melted white chocolate chips.
Assemble. Add the chocolate mixture to the prepared baking dish. Gently tap the pan on the counter to level the chocolate. Sprinkle the chunks of Cadbury Crème Eggs on top in an even layer. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the egg layer and tap to level. Use a knife to swirl the layers and mix the chocolates. Top the fudge with the crushed mini Cadbury Eggs and Easter sprinkles. Press lightly to ensure the candies will stick to the fudge.
Set up. Chill the fudge for 2 to 3 hours until the fudge has completely set. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!

Storage Information

You can store leftover Easter Fudge in the fridge for up to 2 whole weeks! If you can make it last that long, that is. Store in an airtight container for maximum freshness.

Fudge freezes well too! Store (or make ahead and thaw before serving) fudge in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer.

Trish’s Tips and Tricks

You have to move quickly when it comes to the melting and pouring of the frosting and chocolate! If you don’t move fast enough, the mixtures will start to clump. The fudge will still taste the same but the presentation won’t be as pretty. If you need to, grab an assistant to be on continuous stirring duty!
The melted chocolate will slightly clump when you add the white frosting. Don’t worry, just keep stirring to smooth it out.
Cut the Cadbury Crème Eggs into pieces that aren’t too big as it makes it difficult to cut and serve the fudge later on.
Press down on your toppings to really get them to sit into the fudge. This makes it so the Cadbury pieces don’t just completely fall off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this fudge for other holidays?

Absolutely! Just swap the Cadbury eggs for another candy (or leave them out completely and add nuts or dried fruit instead) and change the sprinkles to whatever color scheme matches your holiday or party. Simple as can be and a great dessert option all year round!

Why is my fudge crumbly?

If it seems like your fudge is falling apart, you may have used too much melted chocolate to frosting ratio. The frosting really helps meld everything together and if too much chocolate is used it can cause the fudge to crumble instead of stick. Just adjust your measurements for the next batch and you’re good to go!

Can I make this fudge ahead of time?

This fudge can definitely be made in advance! It freezes quite well too. See the storage information above.
