Main Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup pink candy melts or a few drops of pink food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Mix-ins
- Crushed peppermint candies
- Freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries
- Chopped nuts such as toasted almonds or pistachios
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides to lift out the fudge easily after it sets.
- Melt the Butter and Condensed Milk: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and combined. Stir constantly to avoid scorching.
- Add White Chocolate and Pink Coloring: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the white chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Then, incorporate the pink candy melts or a few drops of pink food coloring, stirring until the color is evenly distributed.
- Mix in Optional Ingredients: If adding any mix-ins like nuts or freeze-dried fruit, fold them in gently now to maintain texture and maximize flavor.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment or foil. Cut into small squares with a sharp knife for the perfect bite-sized treat.
Notes
- Use quality white chocolate for a smoother texture and better melting.
- Melt ingredients slowly over low heat to prevent burning or grainy fudge.
- Mix pink dye or candy melts thoroughly for consistent color throughout.
- Chill a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts for neat squares.
- Always line the pan to make removing the fudge effortless and keep edges clean.
