The top chocolate layer of the top cup has a bite taken from it, showing gooey white and orange filling inside.

Ingredients

2 packages (16 oz each) milk chocolate, melted
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons 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, then continue melting in 20-second increments until smooth.
Step 3: Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag. Snip off the tip and pipe a thin layer of chocolate into the bottoms of the liners. Gently tap the pan 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 stiff. Transfer two-thirds of this creme into a piping bag.
Step 5: Add orange and yellow gel food coloring to the remaining creme. Mix until you reach a consistent orange shade. Transfer this orange creme into a separate piping bag.
Step 6: Cut the tip of the white creme bag to about 1/2-inch diameter. Pipe a thick layer onto the chocolate layer in the muffin cups.
Step 7: Cut the tip of the orange creme bag to about 1/4-inch diameter. Pipe the orange creme onto the center of the white layer. Tap the pan to smooth the cremes; they will become smoother as they sit.
Step 8: Re-melt the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate in the microwave. Pour into a clean piping bag and cut the tip off.
Step 9: Pipe melted chocolate over the creme layers, covering all edges. Tap the pan gently to smooth the top.
Step 10: Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate is set.

Tips & Variations

Use parchment paper liners for easy removal and neat presentation.
Adjust the gel food coloring to create different creme shades or festive colors.
For a firmer shell, chill the chocolate layer before adding the creme.
Try using white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store Cadbury Creme Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best texture. Avoid leaving them out in warm conditions as the chocolate may soften.

How to Serve

A white square plate holds five dark chocolate cups with ridged edges and shiny tops. Four cups are whole, smooth, and deep brown in color, while one is cut in half and placed on top, showing three layers inside: a thick dark chocolate outer shell, a creamy white middle layer, and a bright yellow center. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, with a small dark round object near it. The scene is lit softly, highlighting the rich textures and colors of the dessert.
