How to Make Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs

  1. Combine the butter, Lyle's Golden Syrup, and condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and desired food coloring until evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth, thick fondant is formed.
  4. Refrigerate the fondant for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
  5. Once the fondant is firm, roll it out on a lightly powdered sugar surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles. Place half of the circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of chocolate ganache onto each circle. Top with another circle to create the egg shape.
  8. Refrigerate the assembled eggs for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.
  9. Melt the milk chocolate according to the package directions. Dip each egg in the melted chocolate to fully coat, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  10. Place the finished eggs on a fresh sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
  11. Once the chocolate is set, your homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs are ready to enjoy!
