FAQs
Can I use only semi-sweet chocolate chips?
Yes, but combining them with white chocolate chips gives a creamier texture and balanced sweetness.
Do the Cadbury Eggs melt in the fudge?
No, if you add them after the mixture cools slightly, they will retain their shape and gooey centers.
Can I use full-size Cadbury Creme Eggs?
Yes, but it’s best to chop them into smaller chunks before mixing in or pressing on top.
How long does the fudge take to set?
Typically 2-3 hours in the fridge, but overnight is ideal for the cleanest cuts.
Can I use a microwave instead of stovetop?
Yes, melt the chocolate, milk, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.
Is this fudge overly sweet?
It is rich and sweet due to the chocolate and creme eggs, so small squares are perfect for satisfying a craving.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just use a 9×13-inch pan instead and extend the chilling time slightly.
Do I need a candy thermometer?
No, this is a no-bake recipe that doesn’t require precise temperature control.
Can kids help make this?
Absolutely, it’s a fun and safe recipe for kids to assist with under supervision.
What’s the best way to cut the fudge?
Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts for clean slices.
