Base Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Easter Candy Mix-ins
- 1 cup assorted Easter candies (mini chocolate eggs, pastel M&M’s, marshmallow Peeps, etc.)
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge will release easily after it sets.
- Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until smooth and completely melted, making sure the mixture does not scorch.
- Add Flavoring: Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of your fudge.
- Mix in Easter Candies: Gently fold in your chosen Easter candies, making sure they’re evenly distributed without crushing too many pieces.
- Set and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is completely set, lift it from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for a creamier fudge.
- Keep heat low while melting to prevent burning the chocolate.
- Add candies after removing from heat to prevent melting them.
- Cut fudge with a hot, sharp knife for clean pieces.
- Experiment with texture by adding crunchy or chewy candies.
