Easter Fudge
Make some pretty pastel easter egg fudge using cadbury mini eggs and chocolates!
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ Cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 Container Chocolate Frosting 16 ounces
- 1 Container Buttercream Frosting 16 Ounces
- ½ Cup Light Pink Candy Melts
- ½ Cup Yellow Candy Melts
- ½ Cup White Chocolate Chips
- ¼ Cup Mini Chocolate Eggs
- 2 Drops Purple Oil Based Food Coloring
Items Needed:
- 9 x9 Pan
- Parchment Paper
Instructions
- Place all four types of chocolate in their own, medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave each one for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds so they don’t burn, until they’re smooth, without lumps, when stirred.
- Remove the lids and foil from the frosting containers and place them in the microwave for one minute, one at a time. Stir well.
- Place a third of the frosting in the pink, a third in the yellow, and a third in the white. Mix each color vigorously and until fully combined.
- Add the chocolate frosting to the chocolate chips and stir vigorously.
- For the white, add the purple food coloring and stir until no color streaks appear.
- Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper. Start pouring in the colors, starting with the dark chocolate, and alternate for about 3 different rounds, making sure to tap the entire pan with each layer to make it settle.
- Place the mini chocolate eggs in a baggie and beat with a rolling pin or similar item until they’re small chunks.
- Sprinkle over the top of the fudge and lightly press the pieces into the fudge.
- Place the fudge in the fridge for about 3 hours or until solidified.
- Slice into 1×1 squares or chunks and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- You can remove the food coloring and white chocolate chips in place of light purple candy melts, if you can find them. I didn’t have luck finding them at my local stores, but they could possibly be ordered online, if you find that easier.
- I used dark chocolate chips, as I like those better. However, you can use milk chocolate if preferred. You could even use white chips!
- If your chocolate turns out dry or hard, it means too much chocolate was used. Be sure to measure out your ingredients as too much chocolate will make the fudge crumbly.
- Your chocolate will seize just a little when the frosting is added. This is normal and actually makes it easier for you to spoon out portions to mix up the coloring.
- If desired, add some flavored extract to the frosting after it’s been melted and stir well. This will give your fudge a nice flavor beyond just chocolate.
- Be sure to use oil based food coloring and not water based. If you don’t, your chocolate will seize and be unusable.
- If you’re not getting the shade of purple you want from the oil based food dye, try adding a couple drops of blue. This should get a better purple, if need be.
