EASY EASTER FUDGE RECIPE:
Easy Easter Fudge
Rich chocolate fudge filled with colorful mini marshmallows and Cadbury Mini Eggs. Easy Easter treat made in 5 minutes!
Ingredients
- 12 oz bag chocolate chips
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallows
- 1 1/3 cups mini candy-coated chocolate eggs, about a 10oz bag
- 1 teaspoon vanilla, optional
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips then pour sweetened condensed milk over it. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir hot chocolate and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- Add marshmallows and stir only until evenly distributed. The marshmallows will puff slightly because the chocolate mixture is warm. Over mixing will cause the marshmallows to dissolve.
- Line 8 x 8-inch pan with waxed paper or parchment paper. Place 1/2 the mini chocolate eggs to the bottom of the pan.
- Pour fudge mixture over the top and smooth out and place the remaining mini chocolate eggs on top.
- Chill until set (about 30-45 minutes) then cut into pieces.
Notes
You can use milk or semisweet chocolate, whichever you prefer. Milk chocolate chips will taste sweeter, semisweet chocolate chips will taste more like dark chocolate.

Hi Ana! Thanks for the review. We love this recipe and M&Ms in it sound delicious.
Hi Rachel! This recipe looks and tasted great, although I did change from the mini easter eggs to smaller M&M’s and they still tasted good!
Hi Leigh-Anne. This will keep for several weeks in the fridge or up to a week (or more) on the counter. Just make sure you store it in an airtight container. I hope this helps.
How long is it good for? Do you keep it in the fridge or on the counter? Thanks
No, omitting the marshmallows wouldn’t have caused an issue with it setting. Did you use sweetened condensed milk? If you used evaporated milk, cow milk or any other milk instead, that would make this recipe not set. The only other thing I could think that would make it not set is using the wrong quantities.
Mine didn’t either ?
This recipe did not set up for me. I e em tried putting it in the freezer. I used milk chocolate chips and left out the marshmallows because I did not have any on hand and I’m not a big fan of marshmallows either could this have been why?
I’m not sure. Did you use sweetened condensed milk? If you used anything but sweetened condensed milk it won’t set. If you did use the right milk then maybe the chocolate you used. We usually have chocolate chips on hand so that’s what we make it with.
Mine didn’t set.
It’s gooey!
What did I do wrong?
Hi Jackie! Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment. This recipe can be made with milk or semisweet chocolate chips, whichever you prefer. You’ll read in my post for this recipe, my daughters prefer milk chocolate chips and my husband and I perfer the darker semisweet. If you are a milk chocolate fan, you’d probably enjoy this fudge more if made from that. I hope you have a great Easter weekend!
Tried this today … not sure if u meant semi sweet chocolate chips but your link indicated semi sweet … turned out ok but might be better with regular chips
I WANT TO MAKE THIS FOR MY GREAT GRANDKIDS BUT WOULD HAVE TO MAKE TWO AS I LOVE THOSE THOSE LITTLE EASTER EGGS LOL AND FUDGE. DO I USE MINI MARSHMALLOWS OR LARGE ONES, THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE. PLEASE SEND ANSWER TO MY EMAIL AS I AM A GREAT NANNA AND NOT TO HANDY WITH COMPUTERS THANK YOU
Haha! Thanks, Amy. You and me both! 😉
I guess I will have to start my diet after Easter! So much goodness in one amazing recipe! Thank you.
Hi Jenny! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve never molded this recipe but in theory, I think it would work. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure your molds are well coated with something (oil, rice crispies, or even sugar). I think the biggest problem you might run into is that fudge is soft in nature and soft things don’t like to pop out of molds easily. If you decide to mold this fudge I would love to hear about your experience!
If I leave out the candies. Do you think that it is possible to make these into molds, so I can have it be in cute shapes for a bridal shower?
Hi Kyooty! I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience with this. I’m not sure if you are referring to the Easy 4-ingredient Easter Fudge recipe. The fudge recipe doesn’t have any white chocolate in it. Also, did you use milk as in cow’s milk? This recipe calls for a 14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk. It’s very thick and sweet. If you used regular milk that would probably explain why it was goo.
Thanks Elyse! I’m happy to hear you like this fudge. The simplicity and tastiness are why we love it. I LOVE the idea of using red and green for Christmas!
You could make these with red and green eggs too for xmas. This recipie was easy and tasty too thanks for sharing
Hi Alyssa! Nope. If you don’t care for marshmallows you can leave them out altogether. With three little girls, we like to add them in for color. The girls think there so “pretty” and fun.
Do you have to use marshmallows?
Sa l’ai dèlicieux mais nous avons pas les quantité pour le faire j’aimerais bien le faire pour pâques ce
These are so cute! I would love to put them in an Easter Treats Roundup on my blog!E
My mom and I made this one holiday season. I gained like 15 lbs. Love that stuff!
Thanks, Kim! This fudge is awesome, quick, and easy! If you like chocolate and those delicious mini eggs, you will LOVE this fudge.
Hi Francine! This recipe is a great one to do with kiddos. I hope you and your grandson had a wonderful time making and eating this together.
I will be making those this weekend with my grandson for sure..
Hi, Lynda! The exact measurements for all ingredients can be found on the full printable recipe here —> https://kitchencents.com/easy-4-ingredient-easter-fudge/2/
12oz chocolate chips equal about 2 cups. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by!
Bonjour les quantités exact de chocolats n’est pas écrit non plus combien le guimauves Merci de me répondre
Hi, Anne! Short answer–sweetened. Long answer–I used milk chocolate with mine because my girls prefer it. If you prefer dark chocolate then use semi-sweet chocolate chips, or even baking chocolate but I wouldn’t go higher than 70% cocoa unless you like REALLY dark chocolate. I hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by!
Sweetened or unsweetened chocolate chips?
This is so adorable and festive! Mini chocolate eggs and fudge would make the best combination. I so want to make this. 🙂
This is such a great idea! So simple, but so clever at the same time! The mini chocolate eggs are so cute and add a nice burst of color! Perfect for Easter!
What a fun dessert for Easter! The colors are perfect, and I bet it tastes so good!
Yum!!!! This looks so good and so cute! I can’t wait to make this for Easter!
