- Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions 5 (always use H2 and H3)
1. Heat milk and chocolate
In a saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
2. Add vanilla and salt
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
3. Fold in the mini eggs
Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury mini eggs so they are evenly distributed but not crushed completely.
4. Transfer to pan
Pour the mixture into a lined square baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
5. Chill until firm
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
6. Slice and serve
Once set, lift the fudge from the pan, cut into squares, and serve chilled.
Serving Suggestions Cadbury Egg Fudge

Tips for Success Cadbury Egg Fudge
- Use low-medium heat to melt chocolate so it stays smooth and glossy.
- Chop the mini eggs coarsely if you want larger candy pockets; finer chops mix more evenly.
- Cool completely before cutting to get clean edges.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best texture. For extra inspiration, try serving it with savory bites like cheesy bacon egg and cheese breakfast sliders at a brunch spread.
