Easter fudge with Mini Eggs

This Easter fudge recipe is divine – soft, chocolatey fudge topped with Mini Eggs, it really does make the perfect Easter indulgence.

This Easter fudge recipe is one of the most delicious and easiest things you can make at Easter. It’s a simple, soft, chocolaty fudge topped with Mini Eggs or any of your favourite Easter treats like Creme Eggs. It really does make the perfect Easter indulgence. And is a great way to use up any leftover Easter eggs you have.

This homemade fudge is made using a no-boil method so its a fantastic, simple recipe for kids to try. The hardest part of making this fudge is waiting for it to set!

No boil fudge is a much easier and safer way of making fudge as you don’t need to heat sugaruntil it’s boiling for a certain length of time.  This means you don’t need to worry about whether the fudge is going to set or not, and it’s much safer way of making fudge if kids are involved (i’m not a big fan of my kids being around boiling sugar for obvious reasons.)

How can kids help to make Easter fudge?

Making fudge is an easy thing for kids to do. We use our slow cooker, and the kids just pop all the ingredients inside and stir it every so often.

Once you’ve made the fudge and it’s setting, your kids can help decorate the top with their favourite Easter treats – Mini Eggs and cut up Creme Eggs go brilliantly, but there are so many different Easter sweets these days, you can add anything you have to hand.

Can I make this fudge in a slow cooker?

Of course! A slow cooker is a great way of making this kind of no boil fudge. You can read full instructions in our slow cooker fudge recipe, but you basically just use the slow cooker as a gentle heat source, as you would with the bain-marie. Just make sure you keep the lid off to make sure any condensation can escape.

Can I make this fudge using a microwave?

Absolutely. You can make this fudge in a microwave if you have one. I personally prefer using a double boiler as I feel like I have more control over it. It’s easier to watch it heat very gently and see as it all comes together. Using a microwave does work though, and can be a good option if you have young children you don’t want to have around a cooker. You just need to make sure you keep an eye on it and cook it in bursts so the chocolate doesn’t burn.

To make fudge in the microwave, simply put all the fudge ingredients into a microwavable bowl and heat it at 80% power in 30 second bursts Stir the fudge in between each 30 second burst and stop heating it when everything has melted and come together.

How long does Easter fudge keep?

This fudge will keep in an air tight container for a week or two. It means you can make it and package it up to give to friends as gifts. 

If you want to keep the Mini Egg fudge for longer you can freeze it for up to three months. Simply wrap it well in cling film/glad wrap and pop it in a freezer bag. Make sure you thaw it for a good few hours, or overnight before you serve it.

What chocolate should I use?

I always think when you make something as simple as this, with only a few ingredients you should use the best chocolate you can afford, especially if you’re making this as a gift.

how to make easter fudge

Break the chocolate up

Get your children to help you weigh the chocolate then break it up into small pieces and put them into a heatproof bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients

Get your kids to help you add the butter and condensed milk to your bowl.

Give everything a good mix.

Cook the Easter fudge

Using a double boiler (a pot of simmering water with the bowl placed on top, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water) heat the condensed milk and chocolate gently. 

Leave the fudge to cook on a low heat until it has fully melted, getting your little one to help your stir it if they are old enough to be around a cooker. Be careful touching the bowl as it will get hotter. 

Add some mini eggs

Measure out half of the Mini Eggs and get your kids to bash them into halves/quarters. Add them to your fudge and mix them in with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Leave the fudge to set

Line an 8 inch baking tray with baking paper. You can use a larger or smaller tin if you want thicker or thinner fudge. Pour the fudge in and press down with the back of a spatula.

Decorate your Easter fudge

Get your kids to bash the remaining Mini Eggs and cut up any Creme Eggs you’re using. Sprinkle/arrange them on top of your fudge as evenly as you can and right up to the edges. Press the Mini Eggs down into the fudge slightly. 

Put the fudge in the fridge for a few hours until it has set. Use the overhanging baking paper to remove the fudge from the tin.

Cut into small squares and enjoy.
