Ingredients Overview:
Before we get started, let's take a closer look at the ingredients you'll need to make this mouthwatering Easter Egg Fudge:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (use approximately 1/2 cup for the white chocolate and 1 cup for the dark chocolate)
- 1 cup candy eggs, plus more for topping
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
- 2 cups dark chocolate melting wafers
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Line a square 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
2. Add 1/3 of a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk (approx. 1/2 cup) to your white chocolate melting wafers. Add the remaining 2/3 (approx. 1 cup) of sweetened condensed milk to your dark chocolate wafers.
3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark and white chocolate mixtures in separate bowls. Start at 1 minute then increase time in 30 - second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
4. Pour the Dark Chocolate Layer: Once the dark chocolate mixture is smooth, pour it into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. This will be the bottom layer of your fudge.
5. Add Candy Eggs: Once the white chocolate mixture is smooth, gently fold in 1 cup of crushed candy eggs until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. These candy eggs will add a pop of color and sweetness to the fudge.
6. Add the White Chocolate Layer: Spoon the white chocolate and candy egg mixture over the dark chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
7. Top with Candy Eggs: Before the white chocolate layer sets, sprinkle additional crushed candy eggs (place in a plastic bag and use a kitchen mallet to get the desired texture) on top for decoration. Press them lightly into the surface of the fudge to ensure they stick.
8. Chill and Set: Place the baking dish to the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is firm and set.
9. Slice and Serve: Once the fudge is fully set, remove it from the refrigerator and lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into squares using a sharp knife. Watch step-by-step instructions to see this recipe come to life.
