Ingredient Notes
To make this simple Mini Egg Easter Fudge, you will need the following ingredients (full measurements in recipe card below):
- white chocolate chips - If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, you can use milk or dark chocolate chips instead, though it will change the color and overall look and taste of the fudge.
- sweetened condensed milk - try a vegan sweetened condensed “milk” if necessary, but it may change the texture and flavor.
- chocolate mini eggs - we used classic mini eggs but any kind of candy-coated chocolate Easter candy will work such as Easter M&M’s.
You will also need a kitchen scale (or measuring cups), a large mixing bowl, an 8x8-inch square pan, and parchment paper.
How to Make the Best Mini Egg Easter Fudge
- Prep pan. Spray an 8x8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line with 2 sheets of parchment paper so that each side of the pan is lined, and leave an overhang on each edge for easy removal.
- Melt chocolate in condensed milk. In a large mixing bowl, stir to combine the white chocolate chips and condensed milk. Place the bowl into the microwave for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, then stir together to mix. Continue microwaving and stirring, in 30 second intervals, until the chocolate chips have completely melted. When ready, the mixture should be thick but smooth.
- Add mini eggs. Add in ¾ of the chopped mini eggs and fold to lightly to combine.
- Spread in pan. Pour the fudge into the prepared baking pan. Use a silicone spatula to smooth out the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ of mini eggs onto the top of the fudge. Lightly press them into the fudge to ensure they’re adhered.
- Chill. Place the pan into the fridge for 4 hours to set. Use the parchment paper overhang to remove the fudge from the pan. Cut into 36 pieces (6 rows and 6 columns) and serve.
Recipe Variations
- Customize your mix-ins. Make this Easter fudge your own by customizing the mix-ins to suit your tastes and decor. Substitute the mini eggs with Easter M&M’s or add things like mini marshmallows or crushed pretzels.
- Add sprinkles. Give this fudge an extra holiday touch with added sprinkles or different sizes and shapes,
- Change the chocolate. Change the flavor of this fudge by switching the white chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate.
- Customize for different holidays. Turn this into Christmas fudge by using holiday colored M&M's instead of Easter ones or adding crushed candy canes. Turn this into Valentine's fudge with red and pink smarties, and so on.
- Robin egg fudge: Mix in crushed Whopper Robin Eggs or Mini Robin Eggs into your fudge mixture for a crunchy, chocolatey Easter treat.
How to Serve Homemade Fudge
Mini Egg Fudge is a delicious treat that you can serve whenever you are craving something sweet, or to package up and gift to family friends. Our favorite ways to serve these are:
- Gift or party favor: Easter fudge can make a thoughtful gift for friends and family. Wrap individual pieces of fudge in festive paper tied with a string or in a clear plastic bag tied in ribbon as a gift on it's own or as inside Easter baskets. If you are hosting an Easter party, you can give each guest a piece of Easter fudge as a party favor.
- Dessert: Serve mini egg fudge as a dessert at your Easter dinner or brunch. You can cut the fudge into small squares and serve them on a platter or in a decorative dish. Add some Easter candy or flowers around it for a festive touch.
- Snack: Easter fudge also makes for a great snack throughout the day. Cut the fudge into small pieces and keep it in a container for easy access.
