Creme Egg Chocolate Fudge is creamy soft fudge made with melted Creme Eggs and dark chocolate decorated with mini Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs!
Easter is nearly upon us so I felt had to do something fun and different from my previous Easter posts so I put my brain to work and came up with the idea of Creme Egg Chocolate Fudge!
This recipe might come in handy if you find your household with a glut of eggs and you just want to recycle them into something a bit different. Or maybe you’d like to impress a friend with a thoughtful Easter gift?
As a child we had all the usual Easter eggs that are still around today but my absolute favourite thing was a filled cardboard egg.
Mum would take me to the local sweet shop and I’d get to choose what treats I wanted in my egg (it’s actually in the background of the 1st picture above).
From behind the glass counter, the owner would place my individual choices into a paper bag (not like today’s self-service) and I think this made the ritual all the more special!
Easter was an extra exciting time for sweets and I remember things like foiled chocolate ladybirds with black paper feet, little foiled chicks, foil-wrapped chocolate eggs, speckled jelly eggs, fried eggs, and more.
Anyway, back to the Creme Egg Chocolate Fudge, not only are there mini Creme Eggs and mini eggs on top of it there are also Creme Eggs melted into it.
So if you know a Creme Egg fan then this is the fudge for them!
My kids and hubby are constantly sneaking a piece from the fridge when I’m not looking and I may have indulged in a few more pieces than I should myself!
What are your childhood Easter memories? Did you have a favourite Easter Egg?
Do let me know in the comments below! Oh and changing the subject completely, my blog turned 4 on Sunday so I’d just like to say thank you to all my readers, fellow supportive bloggers, and all the like-minded brands that I work with:-) Here’s to the next 4 years and beyond!
Here’s a video I put on Instagram of some of the fudge-making stages which you might find useful!

Creme Egg Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 450 g Granulated sugar
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 150 mls Semi-skimmed milk
- 50 g Golden syrup
- 3 Cadbury Creme eggs chopped
- 50 g Dark chocolate broken up
- For decoration:
- 1 Pack Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs
- 2 handfuls of Mini Eggs I used Smarties ones
Instructions
- Grease a 20 x 24.5cm tin with butter and line with a single sheet of baking paper allowing extra to hang over each end (which will act as handles for removing fudge).
- Place the sugar, butter, milk, golden syrup and Creme Eggs into a heavy based saucepan.
- Heat gently and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved (a whisk is useful).
- Bring the mixture to the boil and then boil gently, stirring ocassionally, for 10 minutes or until it reaches “soft ball” stage of 116ºC (use a sugar thermometer)..
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 5 – 10 minutes.
- Beat the mixture with a whisk until it starts to go thick and grainy.
- Pour the fudge into the tin and even out with a plastic spatula if necessary.
- Decorate by pushing the Creme Eggs and mini eggs into the surface.
- Allow to cool.
- Once cool remove the fudge from the tin and cut into bite sized pieces (I made 36 generous sized pieces).
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge where it should keep for at least 2 weeks.

I turn my back for 2 months, come back and everyone is creme egg daft! But I can see why – flipping gorgeous fudge Camilla!
Camilla
LOL I’m making it an annual tradition, thanks Stuart:-)
Renna
Omg…. I don’t like creme eggs, but, my mouth is watering at the thought that you used galaxy caramel eggs instead… I love fudge… Always have. Looks amazing.
Camilla
LOL Renna thanks, yes you could swap the eggs perhaps:-)

Well, this looks amazing! Great use for some of the homemade creme eggs I’m planning on making this weekend too.
Camilla
Thanks Georgina. I saw a video of Paul A Young making creme eggs the other day, very inspiring, maybe it was you that shared it!
Rhian Westbury
Oh my god these look absolutely incredible, I think after Easter I might have to stock up on Creme Eggs so I can make these x
Camilla
Thank you Rhian, yes after Easter they are always cheap:-)
Tamara
I love food stories! Thanks for sharing about your childhood. My memories of Easter always included a pretty new dress, and a gigantic egg hunt with about 24 cousins that included real and artificial eggs… Families are too spread out for that now (sadly). Great post!
Camilla
Thanks Tamara, oh that sounds glorious, a new dress and an Easter Egg Hunt with so many cousins!
peter @feedyoursoultoo
You had me at fudge. The eggs are such a fun addition.
Camilla
Thanks Peter, it’s Easter, has to be fun:-)
kate @veggie desserts
Woah, these look amazing!! What a great treat. So stunning. My best Easter memories are of the big yellow fluffy chicken suit that my mum made for my sisters and I. My little sister won a Sony Walkman (I’m showing my age now) at a school fair wearing that suit!
Camilla
Thanks Kate. Wow, a Sony Walkman, that was a mega prize, I only had a Sanyo Walkman which was about a third of the price and a lot bigger, burgundy it was:-)
Lisa | Garlic + Zest
Well, this just looks dangerous (for my thighs)! Thank heavens Easter is but once a year!
Camilla
