- Chop the caramel milk chocolates then fold into the warm, melted chocolate (While this is a mix-in, it adds some additional chocolate to the milk chocolate base)
- Fold in the chopped vanilla creme cookies, Cadbury mini eggs and mini marshmallows
- Continue until all the mix-ins are coated in chocolate
- Lightly grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray
- Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan
