Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (such as Easter M&M’s)
- 1/4 cup pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal of the fudge once it is set.
- Melt the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Stir continuously to prevent burning until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add Flavoring: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate the flavor evenly into the fudge base.
- Mix in Candy: Gently fold in half of the pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates, distributing them evenly throughout the fudge mixture without crushing.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining candy-coated chocolates and pastel sprinkles evenly over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, cut into 25 squares, and serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- For a fun variation, try mixing in mini marshmallows, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts into the fudge base before setting.
