This Cadbury Cocktail Recipe Is the Adult-Approved Treat You Need for Easter

Whether you’re planning to dye a few Easter eggs, create a basket full of goodies, or cook a mean Easter dinner, this cool-kid approved holiday requires a lot of prep work and leg work from the adults. Between buying candy, dye for the eggs, and ingredients for your egg and bacon carbonara (*prayer hands emoji*), it’s safe to say us adults deserve a little treat that is egg-tastic (and 21 and up!). This Cadbury cocktail is the perfect way to end the day (you know, when the kids are asleep). Made with sweetened condensed milk, vanilla vodka, cream de cacao, and Cadbury goodness, this sweet treat will seriously make your insides melt. Trust. Us.

Ingredients:

Makes one drink

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 ounce of cream de cocoa
  • 1 ounce vanilla vodka
  • 1 Cadbury egg (just the cream part)
  • 1/4 cup of milk (we used cashew, but any will do)

Instructions:

1. Pour the dark chocolate chips and a small amount of milk in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it for about 10-15 seconds or until you start to see the chocolate melting. Stir completely until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

2. Pour the chocolate on top of a level plate and carefully rim the martini. Let gravity do its thing by letting the chocolate drip on the edges of the glass. Place the glasses to the side.

3. For the cocktail, unwrap the Cadbury egg, cut it down the middle, and carefully scoop out the cream. Shake the cream into the shaker.

4. Next, measure 1 1/2 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 ounce of cream de cocoa, 1 ounce vanilla vodka, and 1/4 cup of milk, and place all the ingredients into the shaker. Just double these measurements if you want to create a drink for a friend. (Duh, of course you do.)

5. Add a handful of ice, and carefully shake for about 10 seconds or until the Cadbury cream has broken apart and melted.

6. Pour the liquid into the martini glass and shave the rest of your dark chocolate over the cocktail. Serve immediately.

Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law, and Ana de Armas Fight For Survival In Their New Insane Thriller

There are some stories that are too crazy to make up. Such is the case for Ron Howard's Eden, which premieres this week at the Toronto International Film Festival. The new movie follows a group of Europeans who settle on the island of Floreana, in the Galápagos, in the 1930s. Together, the characters feel like a glamorized version of Lord of the Flies — especially when an inevitable power struggle begins.

“You’d be shocked at how accurate the movie actually is,” Howard tells Vanity Fair. “What was chilling about this story is that a handful of people went there and half of them either died or vanished—and that’s intense. That’s like a season of Survivor where people really don’t make it.”

Here's everything you need to know about the new movie — and your first look at the characters!

​What is Eden 2024 about?

A post shared by Vanity Fair (@vanityfair)

Eden Plot

Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) and his wife Dora (Vanessa Kirby) enjoy their isolated life in Floreana. They're able to live exactly how they please, creating their perfect home, complete with a garden and animals. But when Margret (Sydney Sweeney), Heinz (Daniel Brühl), & Harry (Jonathan Tittel) and The Baronness (Ana de Armas) arrive on the island, the Ritters' dream is disrupted.

“When you meet [these characters], they’re offbeat, even eccentric, kind of funny—you don’t know what they’re going to do next,” Howard continues. “They’re certainly unpredictable. And yet, as that pressure test intensifies, they actually become dangerous. You really do wonder who’s going to prevail as they strive to try to redefine themselves in this place.”

​When is the Eden movie coming out?

Eden Release Date

Eden is premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it'll find a distributor, so it looks like we could see it in 2025. Stay tuned for an official nationwide release date!

11 Comfy Fall Midi Dresses That You’ll Want To Wear Every Day

The seasons may change, but my everyday outfit combo never does. You'll very rarely, if ever, see me in anything other than a simple dress and cute shoes. Sometimes, depending on the season, I'll add layering pieces like boots, sweaters, or jackets, but the outfit is always centered around the star of the show: a simple, midi dress. This will never change, even thought the weather may get colder. So, in lieu of a new season, I thought I'd do another seasonal roundup of my favorite midi dresses for fall, because they are sure to be your new everyday staple. From dressy, flowy pieces to casual knit dresses; we've got an option for everyone!

J.Crew

Maeve Faux Leather Midi

An incredibly chic way to step into fall is with a classic, '90s-inspired faux-leather dress. If you've been obsessed with re-watching Friends like I am, then this dress will have you looking just like Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) in Friends on her way to work for Ralph Lauren. Will be purchasing this stunner immediately!

Dôen

Dôen Oliana Dress

Dôen can take my whole wallet, because I have so much love for them as a brand. Their pieces are unique, make a statement, and are such high quality! I've never gotten rid of any dresses from them over the years, they always stand the test of time. This one here is a beautiful chiffon, floral dress that screams fall to me in such a chic way. I will be adding this one to the top of my fall wishlist!

Anthropologie

Thea Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are a great way to be able to still wear a dress, but make sure you're staying warm while doing it! Bonus points if it has long sleeves — which this one is! I think this dress, in particular, would look so good with a more masculine top layer, like a chore jacket!

J.Crew

J.Crew Leopard Dress

If you've been on the internet at all recently, then you'd know leopard is having a serious moment right now, whether it's shoes, bags, or dresses like this one here! I think leopard is perfect for fall, because it has all neutral colors, yet remains fun if you need a little pizazz in your autumnal wardrobe like I do!

H&M

Sheer Tie Neck Dress

Boho chic has been super trendy at the moment, with so many celebs wearing this style for fall (we see you Daisy Edgar Jones). This look is one of my favorites, because fall is notorious for more structured silhouettes, so it's nice to have a trending style that's flowy and bohemian to throw on. This dress from H&M is such a steal to try the trend, but on a budget!

J.Crew

Denim Midi Dress

Everyone needs a denim midi dress in their fall wardrobe — they're so easy to style! I love the various ways you can wear them. You can throw on a pair of tall boots, or style them with mary-janes and a trench coat for a more comfortable look!

Anthropologie

Pilcro Denim Dress

You can't go wrong with some florals, even for fall! In the autumn, I like to wear more brown-colored or neutral florals, just so it feels appropriate for the season. This one from Anthropologie is so sweet with its cottagecore-esque style! Adding to cart immediately!

Boohoo

Boohoo Chiffon Ruffle Dress

Another boho, ruffle dress, because I simply can't get enough! This style feels so retro and '70s — which is just what I'm trying to go for this fall season. I could see this dress being a perfect wedding guest dress for any nuptials you may have coming up!

Everlane

Everlane Linen Belted Dress

Who says you can't wear linen in the fall?! I definitely didn't. Linen, to me at least, can work seasonally depending on how you style it. I definitely see this dress working year-round. For fall, just simply style it with boots and a coat like a trench, and you've nailed the fall aesthetic!

Nordstrom

WAYF Strapless Dress

Another two-tone dress, because you can style them in so many different ways. This one is extremely affordable from the Nordstrom brand, WAYF. Not only is it wallet-conscious, but it's also super on trend with celebs like Sofia Richie Grainge rocking the two-tone midi dresses lately! You won't want to skip this one, because it's definitely here to stay!

Free People

Free People Pepita Midi

Lastly, we have a classic high-neck, black midi dress! This dress is an everyday staple in my wardrobe, because of its wearability. I can dress it up for a date night with heels or dress it down to just work at a coffee shop. The styling options on this Audrey Hepburn-inspired piece are endless.
