Using a VERY hot knife, cut into squares, store in covered container in refrigerator. Enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
A hot knife makes it so much easier to cut fudge smoothly! Place knife in boiling hot water for a few seconds before removing (just be careful to avoid burning yourself!).

Semi-sweet chocolate chips work well too, although milk chocolate gives it a more authentic Cadbury Egg flavor. We use Ghirardelli chocolate wafers for smooth texture and delicious flavor.

The food coloring is optional - your filling won't have the signature cream yellow color of a Cadbury egg center but the taste won't be affected.
