Cadbury Creme Bites Recipe

Introduction

Cadbury Creme Bites are a delightful treat combining creamy, colorful centers with a smooth milk chocolate shell. These bite-sized sweets are perfect for parties, gifts, or whenever you crave a special homemade confection.

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

1. Step 1: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners.
2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 16 ounces of milk chocolate on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir well and continue melting in 20-second intervals until smooth.
3. Step 3: Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag. Snip the tip and pipe a thin layer of chocolate into the bottom of each liner. Tap the pan gently to spread evenly. Save extra chocolate for re-melting.
4. Step 4: In a stand mixer bowl, beat butter and corn syrup until combined. Add milk, vanilla, and salt. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until the mixture is stiff. Transfer two-thirds to a piping bag.
5. Step 5: Add orange and yellow gel food coloring to the remaining creme mixture and blend until a consistent orange shade forms. Place in a separate piping bag.
6. Step 6: Cut the tip off the white creme bag to about 1/2-inch diameter and pipe a thick layer over the chocolate in each cup.
7. Step 7: Cut the tip off the orange creme bag to about 1/4-inch diameter. Pipe orange creme onto the center of the white creme layer. Tap the pan to smooth the layers.
8. Step 8: Re-melt the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate. Pour into a clean piping bag and snip the tip.
9. Step 9: Pipe melted chocolate over the creme layers, covering edges fully. Tap the pan to smooth chocolate surface.
10. Step 10: Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.

Tips & Variations

• If you don’t have gel food coloring, natural juices like carrot or turmeric can add color but may alter flavor.
• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
• Experiment with different food coloring combinations to create unique creme colors.

Storage

Store Cadbury Creme Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let them come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture. They can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use dark or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute with dark or white chocolate for different flavors, but keep in mind this will alter the traditional taste of Cadbury Creme Bites.

Do I have to use a piping bag?

While a piping bag gives the best control and neat layers, you can use a small spoon or plastic bag with a corner cut off if you don’t have one handy.

Instructions

1. Prepare muffin cups: Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners to ensure easy removal of the finished bites.
2. Melt first portion of chocolate: 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.
3. Form chocolate base: Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag, snip off the tip, and pipe a thin layer into the bottom of each paper liner. Tap the pan gently to distribute the chocolate evenly. Save any extra for re-melting.
4. Make the creme mixture: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and light corn syrup together until creamy. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until mixture becomes stiff.
5. Color creme filling: Divide the creme mixture. Place two-thirds of the mixture into one piping bag. Add orange and yellow gel food coloring to the remaining third and mix well until the creme reaches a consistent orange color. Fill a separate piping bag with the colored creme.
6. Pipe white creme layer: Cut the tip off the white creme bag to create a 1/2-inch opening and pipe a thick layer on top of the chocolate layer in each liner.
7. Pipe orange creme layer: Cut the tip off the orange creme bag to create a 1/4-inch opening and pipe the orange creme onto the center of the white creme layer. Tap the pan to smooth the layers. Allow the creme to settle for smoother texture.
8. Melt second portion of chocolate: Re-melt the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate in the microwave until smooth.
9. Top with chocolate layer: Pipe the melted chocolate over the creme layers, ensuring full coverage to the edges. Tap the pan gently to smooth the top.
10. Set chocolate: Refrigerate the pan for 30 minutes until chocolate is completely set and firm.
