Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the fudge. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

Step 2: Melt the Fudge Base

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium heat.
2. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let it burn.
3. Once smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).

Step 3: Add the Mix-ins

1. Let the fudge mixture cool for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Then, gently fold in the mini marshmallows, Easter M&Ms, and chopped nuts (if using). Be sure to mix them in evenly.

Step 4: Pour and Set the Fudge

1. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
2. Sprinkle Easter-themed sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
3. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch.

Step 5: Cut and Serve

1. Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan.
2. Cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles for serving.

Step 6: Enjoy

1. Serve your Easter Fudge as a sweet treat for Easter celebrations, or package it as a gift for friends and family!
