This year, make homemade Easter candy eggs so that you can eat them when you’re all done – unlike the hard-boiled egg, which usually gets pitched in the trash. Crush candy eggs to make your own Robin’s egg malted milk fudge. Create your own version of the trademark holiday treat with a recipe for homemade Cadbury Crème Eggs. For a simple sweet, whip up fudge truffle eggs. Now who wants to help decorate?!

Robin’s Egg Malted Milk Fudge
Your kids will love making these Robin’s egg malted milk fudge from Delish – especially since the first thing they get to do is to crush candy.
