Main Ingredients
- 14 oz (1 can) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 12 oz White Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Easter Candy Mix (pastel M&M’s, mini marshmallows, jelly beans, or your choice)
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the pan from heat and gently stir in the vanilla extract to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Fold in Easter Candy: Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in most of your Easter candy mix, reserving some to sprinkle on top so the candies remain vibrant and intact.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved candies on top for decoration. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy your festive Easter Candy Fudge!
Notes
- Choose high-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother melt and better texture.
- Keep the heat low to avoid burning chocolate or making the fudge grainy.
- Cool the fudge slightly before adding candy to prevent melting and preserve candy shape and color.
- Use fresh candies for the best texture and vibrant colors.
- For clean slices, cut the fudge with a warm knife warmed under hot water and dried before slicing.
