Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins and Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped pastel Easter candies (such as mini M&Ms, mini marshmallows, chopped candy-coated chocolates)
- Optional: a few drops of pastel food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to make removing the fudge easier after it sets.
- Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, white chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until everything melts together and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Vanilla and Color: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in vanilla extract. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and gently mix until the color is evenly distributed.
- Fold in Easter Candy: Quickly fold in the chopped Easter candy mix-ins, being gentle to avoid melting the candies while ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge.
- Transfer and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
Notes
- Use quality chocolate for a smoother, richer fudge.
- Do not skip condensed milk as it ensures creamy texture and moisture.
- Allow the fudge to chill fully to prevent crumbling when cut.
- Add Easter candies after melting the base to keep them intact and colorful.
- Use a warm knife to slice the fudge for clean edges.
