Creamy pastel fudge treat (Printable version)

Sweet creamy fudge with pastel candies, ideal for festive spring occasions.

# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 3 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins & Topping

05 - 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs, roughly chopped
06 - 1/3 cup pastel sprinkles

# How to Make It:

01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 5–6 minutes.
03 - Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then fold in half of the chopped candy eggs.
04 - Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
05 - Sprinkle the remaining candy eggs and pastel sprinkles evenly over the surface, gently pressing them in.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
07 - Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 24 squares.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The white chocolate base melts into silkiness that literally melts on your tongue
  • Those candy-coated eggs add the perfect crunch and burst of chocolate flavor
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like you spent all day on it
  • One batch makes enough to share (or not, no judgment here)
02 -
  • Low and slow heat prevents seizing. If your white chocolate starts looking grainy, you have heated it too high.
  • The 2 minute cooling time before adding candy matters. Hot chocolate will melt those candy eggs into a weird puddle.
  • Room temperature fudge cuts cleaner than cold fudge. Let it sit out for 10 minutes before slicing.
03 -
  • Run your knife under hot water and wipe dry between cuts for perfectly clean squares
  • Chop your candy eggs to different sizes so every bite has a little something different
  • If you want to get fancy, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top before chilling
