Easy Easter Chocolate Fudge

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 minute

Chill Time: 3-4 hours

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup salted butter

1 (10 oz) bag of Cadbury mini eggs (or other Easter candies)

Instructions:

Prepare the Pan:

Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.

Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal.

Add Easter Candy Base:

Place half of the mini eggs evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.

Make the Fudge:

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.

Microwave uncovered for 1 minute. Stir well, letting the residual heat melt the chocolate completely.

If necessary, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth.

Assemble:

Pour the fudge mixture over the mini eggs in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

Press the remaining mini eggs into the top of the fudge.

Chill:

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3-4 hours, or until set.

Serve:

Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang, place on a cutting board, and slice into squares. For smooth cuts, warm a knife in hot water, wipe dry, and slice.

Storage Tips:

Refrigerator: Store uncut fudge in an airtight bag for freshness, or store cut pieces in an airtight container.

Freezer: Wrap fudge in parchment or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months, and let it come to room temperature before serving.

Variations:

Different Chocolate: Try dark, milk, or white chocolate.

Other Easter Treats: Use pastel sprinkles, jelly beans, or Whopper eggs for added color and fun.

This fudge is a delicious, festive way to celebrate Easter with family and friends!
