These bite-sized confections combine the richness of melted milk chocolate with a creamy, vanilla-infused filling, making them perfect for festive gatherings or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

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

Creme Filling

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ 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 create individual molds for the bites.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place 16 ounces of milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, stir, and continue melting in 20-second increments until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Form Chocolate Base: Transfer melted chocolate into a piping bag, snip the tip, and pipe a thin layer into the bottom of each lined muffin cup. Gently tap the pan on the counter to spread evenly. Set aside any extra chocolate for re-melting.
  4. Make Creme Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and light corn syrup until combined. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is stiff.
  5. Divide and Color Creme: Spoon two-thirds of the creme into one piping bag. Add orange and yellow gel food coloring to the remaining creme to achieve a bright orange color, then spoon this colored creme into a separate piping bag.
  6. Pipe White Creme Layer: Cut the tip of the white creme piping bag to about ½-inch diameter. Pipe a thick layer of white creme over the chocolate base in each cup.
  7. Add Orange Creme Center: Cut the tip of the orange creme piping bag to about ¼-inch diameter. Pipe orange creme into the center of the white creme layer. Tap the muffin pan gently to smooth the layers.
  8. Re-Melt Remaining Chocolate: Microwave the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate to melt, then pour into a clean piping bag and cut the tip.
  9. Seal with Chocolate Top: Pipe melted chocolate over the creme layers in each cup, ensuring full coverage to the edges. Gently tap the pan to smooth chocolate tops.
  10. Set Chocolate: Refrigerate the assembled creme bites for 30 minutes until the chocolate is completely set and firm.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper liners to easily remove the bites once set.
  • Ensure chocolate is melted smoothly by stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  • Smoothing the creme layers by tapping the pan helps achieve a professional look.
  • Store creme bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of orange.
