Cadbury Creme Bites are delightful mini chocolate treats featuring creamy, orange-hued filling encased in smooth milk chocolate. These bite-sized confections combine a rich chocolate shell with a sweet, buttery creme center subtly colored and flavored to evoke a festive and irresistible appeal, perfect for holidays or special occasions.

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 Muffin Cups: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the finished treats.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Microwave 16 ounces of milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir well, then continue melting in 20-second increments, stirring between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Form Chocolate Base: Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag and snip the tip. Pipe a thin layer of chocolate into the bottom of each parchment-lined mini muffin cup. Gently tap the pan on the counter to spread the chocolate evenly. Return any excess chocolate to the bowl for re-melting.
  4. Make White Creme Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened butter and corn syrup together until smooth. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the mixture becomes stiff. Transfer two-thirds of this white creme to a piping bag.
  5. Color Orange Creme Filling: Add 2 drops orange and 1 drop yellow gel food coloring to the remaining creme in the bowl. Mix until the color is uniform and achieves the desired orange shade. Spoon this colored creme into a separate piping bag.
  6. Pipe White Creme Layer: Cut the tip off the white creme piping bag to create an opening about 1/2-inch wide. Pipe a thick layer of white creme over the chocolate base in each cup.
  7. Pipe Orange Creme Layer: Cut the tip off the orange creme piping bag to about 1/4-inch wide. Pipe the orange creme carefully onto the center of the white layer in each cup. Tap the muffin pan lightly on the counter to even out and smooth the creme layers; the creme will become smoother if left to sit longer.
  8. Remelt Remaining Chocolate: Add the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate to the bowl and melt again in the microwave until smooth.
  9. Top With Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate into a clean piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the chocolate over the creme layers, ensuring the chocolate covers the entire top surface and edges. Tap the pan on the counter to smooth out the chocolate layer evenly.
  10. Refrigerate and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to set completely. Once firm, the Cadbury Creme Bites are ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate for milk chocolate if preferred.
  • Ensure the creme filling is stiff enough to hold shape but still pipeable; adjust powdered sugar quantity slightly if necessary.
  • If parchment liners are not available, mini silicone liners can be used as an alternative.
  • For easier piping, keep the creme at room temperature but avoid it becoming too soft.
  • Store the finished Cadbury Creme Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
