Why You'll Love This Recipe

This easy fudge recipe is a no-fail, no-bake recipe that literally takes just a few minutes to make. Perfect if you want something quick and impressive for Easter. With only 4 ingredients, the end result is creamy, rich and indulgent!

Recipe Ingredients

Easter is the perfect excuse to do fun things with chocolate. And this recipe is no exception. Plus, you need just a few ingredients.

  • condensed milk – you will need one can (14 oz/397 grams) of sweetened condensed milk for making this fudge
  • milk chocolate – I love my fudge most with milk chocolate, but you could use white chocolate or dark chocolate if you prefer
  • Easter eggs – you can use Cadbury mini eggs or any kind of candy eggs you prefer. I like to use mini chocolate eggs as they seamlessly work with the fudge

How To Make Easter Egg Fudge

If you’ve tried any of my other fudge recipes (like this pecan caramel and chocolate fudge!) you know that I like to keep things simple. For this recipe, you need a small baking dish, lined with parchment paper.

Remove the foil from all of the Easter eggs if necessary.

Add the condensed milk, chocolate, and vanilla into a saucepan. Heat it over low heat while you keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press the Easter eggs on top of the fudge. Don’t press too hard. Since the fudge mixture is warm, it’s normal for them to melt slightly. If you do not press them too hard, they will keep their shape.

Let the fudge cool and set in about 3 hours. You can place it in the fridge covered in plastic wrap if you want to. Once it is set, you can slice it into squares.

FAQ Easter Egg Fudge

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! While milk chocolate gives this fudge a classic creamy flavor, you can also use dark chocolate for a richer taste or white chocolate for a sweeter version. You can even mix different chocolates.

What kind of Easter eggs work best?

Any mini Easter eggs will work, solid, filled, or even crunchy ones. Keep in mind that softer fillings (like praline or caramel) blend more into the fudge, while firmer fillings will keep their shape better.

Why didn’t my fudge set properly?

This usually happens if the mixture didn’t heat long enough for the chocolate to fully melt and bind with the condensed milk. Make sure everything is completely smooth before pouring it into the pan. Also, chilling it in the fridge helps it firm up nicely.

How do I cut the fudge neatly?

Dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and then slice. Repeat between cuts for clean, sharp edges. This is especially helpful since the Easter eggs can be quite firm.

Do the Easter eggs melt in the fudge?

They may soften slightly from the heat, but if you gently press them in and leave them undisturbed, they’ll mostly hold their shape inside the fudge.

Easter Egg Fudge

Using Easter eggs in your baked treats? That’s a great idea! Just take a look at this Easter egg fudge. So good, you’ll want to dig right in.
Preparation10 minutes
Chilling3 hours
Total3 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 40 pieces

Ingredients 

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 397 grams / 14 oz
  • 340 grams milk chocolate
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 bags chocolate Easter eggs

Instructions

  • Line a small baking dish (about 6 x 9½ inches / 16 x 24 cm) with parchment paper. Remove the foil or wrappers from the Easter eggs.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate, and vanilla extract to a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has completely melted.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press the Easter eggs into the fudge. Don’t move them around or press them in any further. The eggs will soften from the heat, but if you leave them alone, they’ll keep their shape thanks to the firm fudge around them.
  • Let the fudge cool and set for about 3 hours. You can also let it set in the refrigerator, covered. Once set, cut the fudge into squares.

Tips

  • You can use any type of chocolate Easter eggs you like; it doesn’t really matter. 
  • Because the Easter eggs are much firmer than the fudge itself, it helps to dip your knife in hot water before cutting the fudge into squares. You’ll notice it cuts much more easily.
How to store

Store the Easter egg fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about one week.
