Cadbury Creme Eggs
When I was little, Easter would often times find me with chocolate stains on my pastel dress, ribbons untied and loose on my crazy hair, and madly stomping around in pretty pink shoes, scuffed from the sugar high that an Easter basket always induced. Down on the bottom, underneath the curly grass and plastic egg shells, I’d always discover these chocolate eggs, always patiently awaiting the moment to be greedily snatched and devoured. Now as a “grown up,” I realize how futile it would be to expect an Easter basket to recreate memories past so I decided to take matters into my own hands. So today, I bring to you, Cadbury creme eggs, the homemade version.

- 1 c golden/corn syrup
- 12 tb room temperature unsalted butter
- 1 ts fine salt
- 1 ts vanilla
- 6 c sifted powdered sugar
- Yellow food color
- 24 oz chopped bittersweet chocolate
- Cream together your syrup, butter, and salt.
- Tip in your vanilla.
- Slowly add in a cup of powdered sugar at a time.
- In a separate bowl, spoon in about ⅓ of your mixture and tint this to the shade of yellow you need for the “yolk.”
- Freeze both bowls for 20 minutes.
- Roll out about ½ ts scoops of your yellow mixture and pop back into the freezer while you work with the white mixture.
- Take 1 tb scoops of your whites and flatten out into a rough disk. Make an indentation with your thumb and wrap your “yolk” around it. Work in batches and freeze your “eggs” as you go.
- While your “eggs” are freezing, temper your chocolate.
- In a double boiler, slowly melt your chopped chocolate. Take each “egg” out individually and carefully immerse each one into the pool of chocolate. Tap off any excess and allow to firm up on wax/parchment.
Love, candy, and Easter bunnies y’all!

No way!! These are my favorite candies of the year, and they are if course non-existent where I live, so I feel sorry for myself every Easter because I’m not riding the fondant sugar-high. I am making these IMMEDIATELY! You’re my heroine.
I am dying this recipe is brilliant! These eggs are my weakness and obsession
Those are the best!!
I’m totally going to make a giant one …like real big!!!
I love these Easter eggs!! used to make myself absolutely ill each Easter eating too many. You are so clever to reproduce them
Yum! My husband loves cadbury eggs, so he’d probably LOVE these!
xo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
I know quite a few people who are absolutely nuts about these eggs, but I have to admit I am not one of them! Although, I may make them for my niece and nephew for Easter (actually late April).
i would have sent u an Easter basket! EAT THE BUNNY EARS!!!! haha
Those were my childhood favorite too. I haven’t had them in years because I lost my taste for sweets…again! I do know two people that love these though and will send them the link!! I am so happy to say that I can get to your blog on my new computer. Maybe because they are totally different computers. Not sure but, I am happy!
Oh my goodness. I love those Cadbury Creme Eggs when I was a kid. I haven’t eaten one of these for a long time and now, you made me crave for one after watching the video. I bet my kids would go crazy if they found these chocolate eggs in their plastic eggs. It’s so much fun to make your own.
Hi Angela, isn’t that inviting and addictive?
So awesome that you recreated these. I prefer the mini eggs but I won’t say no to one of these either!
MMMMMM! LOVELY and delicious!! Brings back memories Angie!I love those creamy Easter eggs!!Love the color combination on your nails Angie, Fiminine and so lovely!
Thanks for sharing this recipe and have a great day!!
Love.
Les.
you are a genius!!! i love cadbury eggs, they are just so fun! i’ve gotta try these!
Hi Angela! There was a lot of work?! Love your creativity!
That is a lot of sugar! I’m sure you were bouncing like a bunny after enjoying them
Ooh, what a fun idea for Easter!
Very cool recipe, I made something similar years ago. I used to get the Laura Secords one when very young and hated them. The Cadbury ones RULE. Great post.
Perfect for Easter
Woah I didn’t know you could try making your own! I don’t like the standard ones but maybe I’d like homemade ones!
Haha! I can’t believe you made these! I never would have thought it possible. My best friend from childhood is OBSESSED with these eggs. I can’t wait to make her a batch. Thank you for sharing!
This is amazing! I love those darn eggs!
Ughh…. I love those eggs. But I’m certain that they’re pretty much diabetes wrapped up in foil.
this is a fair assessment but that’s what holidays are for, lol
Those darn eggs helped me through the better part of my adolescence, haha!
Lemme know how they go =)
The homemade version isn’t as sickeningly sweet
I’m hoping when I make another batch that they last til then
Now I’m very intrigued by the Laura Secords version!
You’ve got me day dreaming about cheesy creme brulee!
I’m fairly high energy all the time…sugar just enhances it, LOL
thank you, Chef!!
Bet baby boy would LOVE ’em!
Thanks Les, you always notice =)
I think for actual Easter, I will scale them back a bit…I think I got a bit overzealous, lol
Aw shucks! Thank you so much, Amelia…I hope your week/end is bomb!
Can’t wait to make all sorts of homemade treats with/for my kiddies one day.
yaaay! I remember you saying that sometimes it was down or inaccessible (though, the finicky fickle tsm site probably played a part in that too) but I’m glad you’re back, Suzie! I always look forward to hearing from you….wishing you the best rest of the week/end ever!
throw in an edible basket and I would devour the entire thing, inside and out! =)
People seem to have a love-hate relationship over these.
hope you give ’em a try!
Would LOVE to walk in on that!
I aim to tempt =)
Glad to help you find a way around that little problem =)
What a bright idea for Easter…..Thanks Angie!!!

Not even sure I have ever had this before…I want to try it! The mocking egg yolk looks like a real thing…
Wonderful! Never have I attempted to make this at home, seeing this recipe, I would definitely want to try.
I hope you do =)
Thanks pretty lady!
I love eggs in any shape and form =)
Thank you…who doesn’t like to be considered clever?
What a fun and creative easter egg recipe! And it’s topped with chocolate!!
chocolate makes everything better, no?
I’m in the middle of making these right now, and so far they are DELICOUS! Thank you so much for the idea and recipe, I will be sure to make them EVERY Easter!! Thank you
Love it! Thanks so much for letting me know, Shannon. This is great to hear =)
