# Ingredients:
→ Chocolate Layers
01 -
2 packages (16 oz each) milk chocolate, melted
→ Creme Filling
02 -
1 cup light corn syrup
03 -
½ cup butter, softened
04 -
2 tsp vanilla extract
05 -
6 cups powdered sugar
06 -
½ tsp salt
07 -
2 Tbsp milk
→ For Coloring
08 -
2 drops orange gel food coloring
09 -
1 drop yellow gel food coloring
# Instructions:
01 -
Line 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners. These will be the molds for your candy bites.
02 -
Place 16 ounces of milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, then stir well. Continue heating in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
03 -
Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag and snip off the tip. Pipe a thin layer of chocolate into the bottom of each paper liner. Gently tap the muffin pan on the counter to help the chocolate spread evenly. Save any extra chocolate by squeezing it back into the bowl for later use.
04 -
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and corn syrup together until combined. Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until you have a stiff, creamy mixture.
05 -
Transfer about 2/3 of the white creme mixture to a piping bag. Add 2 drops of orange gel food coloring and 1 drop of yellow gel food coloring to the remaining 1/3 of creme mixture in the bowl. Mix until you achieve a consistent orange color. Transfer this orange creme to a separate piping bag.
06 -
Cut the tip off the bag of white creme to create an opening about 1/2-inch in diameter. Pipe a thick layer of white creme on top of the chocolate base in each liner.
07 -
Cut the tip off the bag of orange creme to create a smaller opening about 1/4-inch in diameter. Pipe a small amount of orange creme in the center of each white creme layer to resemble an egg yolk. Tap the muffin pan on the counter to help smooth out the layers.
08 -
Add the remaining 16 ounces of milk chocolate to the bowl with any leftover chocolate from earlier. Remelt in the microwave using the same incremental heating method until smooth. Transfer to a clean piping bag and cut off the tip.
09 -
Pipe the melted chocolate on top of each creme-filled cup, ensuring the chocolate completely covers the filling all the way to the edges. Tap the pan on the counter to help the chocolate settle and create a smooth top.
10 -
Refrigerate the filled muffin tins for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is completely set. Once set, they're ready to serve or store.

The creme mixture will smooth out as it sits, so don't worry if it looks a bit uneven after piping. The longer it sits before adding the top chocolate layer, the smoother it will become.
