Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pastel M&M’s or mini candy-coated eggs
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (pastel or rainbow)
Preparation
- Nonstick spray or parchment paper for lining
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray. This ensures easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, preventing burning or scorching.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the fudge’s flavor profile.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold most of the pastel M&M’s and sprinkles into the fudge mixture, reserving a small amount to decorate the top.
- Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining M&M’s and sprinkles over the top, pressing them gently into the surface to adhere.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into approximately 36 small squares and serve or package as desired.
Notes
- For a fun twist, substitute colored candy melts for the white chocolate chips or add a drop of food coloring to the fudge base for vibrant hues.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Perfect for gifting or adding cheerful additions to Easter dessert tables.
