Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Mix-ins and Decoration
- 1½ cups assorted Easter candies (such as mini eggs, jelly beans, chopped chocolate eggs, or pastel M&Ms)
- Pastel sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out once set.
- Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, ensuring the chocolate does not burn.
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the fudge base.
- Mix in Candies: Gently fold 1 cup of the assorted Easter candies into the smooth mixture, distributing them evenly without crushing the candies.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
- Top and Decorate: Press the remaining ½ cup of Easter candies into the top of the fudge, and sprinkle pastel sprinkles on top if desired for an extra festive look.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is firm and fully set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan, then cut into approximately 25 squares and serve.
Notes
- Use any combination of Easter candies you prefer, making this a versatile recipe great for using leftover holiday treats.
- For added color and fun, consider mixing in food coloring or swirling pastel candy melts on top before chilling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
