Ingredients

• 16 ounces milk chocolate (can use dark chocolate for a richer taste)
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup (honey can be a substitute)
• 1/4 cup butter (or margarine/coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (almond extract can be used for variation)
• 3 cups powdered sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/4 cup milk (dairy-free alternative can be used)
• 1 drop gel food coloring (orange & yellow) (natural food coloring is a great alternative)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners.
2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pipe a thin layer of melted chocolate into the bottoms of the lined cups and let it set slightly.
4. Step 4: In a stand mixer, beat softened butter and light corn syrup until combined, then add milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
5. Step 5: Gradually mix in powdered sugar until the mixture reaches a stiff, creamy consistency.
6. Step 6: Color a third of the filling with gel food coloring, then pipe it into the chocolate cups over the first layer.
7. Step 7: Re-melt remaining chocolate if needed, pipe it over the filling to cover completely, and smooth the tops.
8. Step 8: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter and a plant-based milk alternative.
• Adjust powdered sugar to suit your preferred sweetness and consistency for the filling.
• Try almond extract instead of vanilla for a different flavor twist.
• If you prefer natural colors, use turmeric for yellow and carrot juice for orange in the filling.
• Use a piping bag with a small tip for neat layers and easy filling.

Storage

Store the Cadbury Creme Egg Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. If stored at room temperature, they may soften and lose their shape.

FAQs

Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Yes, using dark chocolate will give the bites a richer, less sweet flavor. Adjust the powdered sugar in the filling if you want to balance the taste.

How can I make these bites dairy-free?

Replace butter with margarine or coconut oil and use a plant-based milk alternative. Ensure your chocolate is also dairy-free for a fully vegan treat.

Instructions

1. Prepare Muffin Cups: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners to ensure easy removal of the chocolate bites later.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 16 ounces of milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully smooth and melted.
3. Create Chocolate Base: Pipe a thin layer of melted chocolate into the bottom of each lined muffin cup. Allow this layer to set slightly to form the chocolate shell’s base.
4. Make Filling Mixture: Using a stand mixer, beat the softened butter and light corn syrup until combined and smooth. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing to incorporate evenly.
5. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, beating continuously until the filling reaches a stiff, creamy consistency suitable for piping.
6. Color Filling: Divide the filling into portions and add the gel food coloring (orange and yellow) to a third of the mixture, blending well to incorporate the color.
7. Fill Chocolate Shells: Pipe the colored filling into the chocolate-lined muffin cups over their chocolate base.
8. Seal with Chocolate: If necessary, re-melt any remaining chocolate and pipe it over the filling in each cup, smoothing the tops to seal each bite.
9. Chill: Refrigerate the filled bites for at least 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden completely before serving.

Notes

• For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or margarine and use a dairy-free milk alternative.
• Adjust the powdered sugar amount to achieve your preferred sweetness and consistency.
• Natural food coloring can be used as a healthier alternative to gel food coloring.
• Ensure the chocolate is tempered or set properly to avoid bloom and maintain a glossy finish.
• These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
