Ingredients
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 drop gel yellow food coloring
- 16 ounce milk chocolate melted
Instructions
- In mixer, beat the butter and corn syrup together. Add vanilla, powdered sugar, salt and milk. Beat until smooth. Remove 2/3 of mixture to separate bowl, beat in several drops of yellow food coloring to remaining mixture.
- Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Melt chocolate according to package directions. Pour half of chocolate in pan to cover the bottom of dish. Spread white layer over chocolate. Drop yellow layer over the white layer, spreading gently with a knife. Pour remaining melted chocolate over, spreading evenly. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
- Using a VERY hot knife, cut into squares, store in covered container in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Notes
- A hot knife makes it so much easier to cut fudge smoothly! I place my knife in boiling hot water for a few seconds or so before removing (just be careful to avoid burning yourself!). A knife that's just been through a hot rinse in the dishwasher will also work well.
- Don't love milk chocolate? Semi-sweet chocolate chips work well here too, although the milk chocolate gives it a more authentic Cadbury Egg flavor. We use Ghirardelli chocolate wafers for smooth texture and delicious flavor.
- The food coloring is technically optional. Your filling won't have the signature cream yellow color of a cadbury egg center but the taste won't be affected.
