Ingredients

2 packages (16 oz each) milk chocolate, melted
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp milk
2 drops orange gel food coloring
1 drop yellow gel food coloring

Instructions

Step 1: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 16 ounces of milk chocolate on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir well and continue melting in 20-second increments until smooth.
Step 3: Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag. Snip the tip and pipe a thin layer of chocolate into the bottom of each paper liner. Tap the pan gently to distribute evenly. Save any extra chocolate for re-melting.
Step 4: In a stand mixer bowl, beat butter and corn syrup together. Add milk, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until mixture is stiff.
Step 5: Spoon about two-thirds of the white creme mixture into a piping bag. Add the orange and yellow food coloring to the remaining creme and mix until evenly colored. Spoon this orange creme into a separate piping bag.
Step 6: Cut the tip off the white creme bag to about 1/2-inch wide. Pipe a thick layer of white creme over the chocolate base in each liner.
Step 7: Cut the tip off the orange creme bag to about 1/4-inch wide. Pipe the orange creme onto the center of the white layer. Tap the pan gently to smooth the layers. The creme will even out over time.
Step 8: Add the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate to the bowl. Re-melt in the microwave until smooth.
Step 9: Pour melted chocolate into a clean piping bag, cut the tip, and cover each creme-filled bite completely with chocolate. Tap to smooth the tops.
Step 10: Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use parchment paper liners to easily remove the bites without breaking the chocolate shell.
For a different flavor, substitute vanilla extract with almond or peppermint extract.
Make sure the creme mixture is stiff enough to hold its shape when piping; add more powdered sugar if needed.
Try using white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a sweeter, creamier bite.

Storage

Store the Cadbury Creme Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften the chocolate slightly. Avoid freezing as this may affect texture.

FAQs

Can I use different types of food coloring?

Yes, gel food coloring is best for vibrant colors without thinning the creme. You can experiment with other colors to customize the filling.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting while handling?

Work in a cool environment and handle the chocolate gently. Use parchment liners and chill the bites promptly to set the chocolate and keep its shape.
