Cadbury Creme Bites are delightful layered treats featuring a smooth milk chocolate shell filled with a rich, creamy vanilla and orange-flavored creme. These no-bake bite-sized sweets combine melted Cadbury milk chocolate with a buttery creme filling, elegantly piped into mini muffin liners and refrigerated to set, making them perfect for parties or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

  • 2 pkgs (16 oz each) milk chocolate, melted

Creme Filling

  • 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

  1. Prepare Mini Muffin Cups: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners to prepare for the chocolate shells.
  2. Melt Initial Chocolate: Microwave 16 ounces of milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir well and continue melting in 20-second increments until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Form Chocolate Base: Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag and snip off the tip. Pipe a thin chocolate layer into the bottom of each parchment-lined mini muffin cup. Gently tap the pan to evenly distribute the chocolate. Reserve extra chocolate for re-melting.
  4. Make Creme Mixture: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat softened butter and light corn syrup together. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until the mixture becomes stiff and creamy.
  5. Color Portions of Creme: Spoon about two-thirds of the white creme mixture into one piping bag. Add orange and yellow gel food coloring to the remaining mixture to create a consistent orange shade, then spoon it into another piping bag.
  6. Pipe White Creme Layer: Cut the tip of the white creme piping bag to about 1/2-inch diameter and pipe a thick layer on top of the chocolate base in each mini muffin cup.
  7. Pipe Orange Creme Layer: Cut the tip of the orange creme piping bag to about 1/4-inch diameter. Pipe the orange creme onto the center of each white creme layer, then tap the pan to smooth the layers; the creme will settle and smooth over time.
  8. Re-melt Remaining Chocolate: Melt the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate in the microwave using the same method. Pour the melted chocolate into a clean piping bag and cut off the tip.
  9. Finish with Chocolate Tops: Pipe the melted chocolate over the creme layers, ensuring complete coverage to the edges. Tap the pan lightly to smooth the chocolate top.
  10. Refrigerate to Set: Refrigerate the assembled Cadbury Creme Bites for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.

Notes

  • Using parchment paper liners prevents sticking and makes removal easier.
  • Gel food coloring is used to achieve vibrant colors without altering the creme consistency.
  • Work quickly when piping chocolate as it sets fast at room temperature.
  • For best results, ensure butter is softened, not melted, before mixing into the creme.
