Base Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Easter Candy Assortment
- Mini candy eggs
- Mini marshmallows
- Pastel-colored sprinkles
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This preparation helps to lift the fudge out easily once set.
- Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and softened butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted, smooth, and free from burning.
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the fudge base with warm, aromatic flavor.
- Mix in Easter Candy: Gently fold in your chosen Easter candies, such as mini candy eggs and marshmallows, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top for decoration.
- Transfer and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved candies on top, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into bite-sized squares and enjoy immediately or store for later.
Notes
- Use quality white chocolate chips for a richer taste and smoother melting.
- Melt ingredients slowly over low heat to prevent burning and graininess.
- Chill the fudge properly in the refrigerator to ensure a firm texture suitable for cutting.
- Add Easter candies after removing from heat to avoid melting them.
- Use softened butter at room temperature for a better blend and velvety texture.
