This Easter Fudge is a festive, creamy treat filled with colorful pastel candies and topped with sprinkles, perfect for celebrating Easter! With just a few ingredients, it’s easy to make and ideal for gifting or enjoying as a sweet dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if preferred)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Easter-themed pastel M&Ms (or candy-coated chocolate pieces)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
- Easter-themed sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
- 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
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium heat.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let it burn.
- 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
- 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
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle Easter-themed sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch.
Step 5: Cut and Serve
- Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan.
- Cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles for serving.
Step 6: Enjoy
- Serve your Easter Fudge as a sweet treat for Easter celebrations, or package it as a gift for friends and family!
