Tips & Variations

• Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
• If you don’t have a double boiler, melt the ingredients gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring constantly.
• Try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added texture and taste.
• For a different twist, substitute Cadbury Creme Eggs with other filled chocolates or your favorite candy pieces.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 weeks. If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate the fudge to keep it firm. Before serving chilled fudge, let it come to room temperature for easier cutting and a softer texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of chocolate almond bark?

Yes, you can substitute regular semi-sweet or milk chocolate for the almond bark, but keep in mind almond bark is designed to melt smoothly without seizing, so stirring carefully to avoid burning is important.

Do I need to refrigerate fudge with Cadbury Creme Eggs?

Fudge can be stored at room temperature, but if you live in a warm climate or want firmer texture, refrigerating is recommended. Just allow it to sit a few minutes at room temperature before cutting.
