Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
Easter Mix-ins and Toppings
- 2 cups Easter M&M’s, divided
- 2 cups Easter Shimmery Whopper Eggs, divided
- 2 cups Easter sprinkles, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper covers the sides to make removing the fudge easy later.
- Melt the chocolate mixture: In a medium pot over low to medium heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly to prevent burning, and continue until the mixture is fully melted, smooth, and creamy.
- Add candies: Remove the pot from heat and fold in 1 cup each of the Easter M&M’s, Whopper eggs, and sprinkles. Mix until the candies are evenly distributed throughout the fudge base.
- Pour and decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top the surface with the remaining candies and sprinkles, gently pressing them into the fudge to help them adhere.
- Set the fudge: Leave the fudge on the counter at room temperature overnight (approximately 8 hours) to harden completely.
- Cut and serve: Once the fudge is fully set, lift it from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Make sure to stir constantly during melting to avoid burning the white chocolate.
- Press the decorative candies gently on top to prevent them from sinking into the fudge.
- Allow ample time for the fudge to set properly overnight for ideal texture.
- Store fudge at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
