Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces/397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Decorative and Texture Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Easter candies (chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, M&Ms, or crushed Peeps)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup sprinkles (pastel or Easter-themed)
Instructions
- Prepare a square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal.
- Create a gentle heat-proof environment using a double boiler or microwave, melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate vanilla extract into the molten chocolate mixture, stirring until thoroughly integrated and producing a glossy texture.
- Carefully fold chopped Easter candies into the liquid fudge base, reserving some pieces for decorative topping.
- Optional enhancement includes stirring mini marshmallows or colorful sprinkles throughout the mixture for added visual and textural interest.
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread evenly and create a smooth surface.
- Artfully scatter remaining Easter candies across the top, gently pressing them into the soft fudge to ensure they adhere securely.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator, allowing the fudge to solidify completely for approximately 2-3 hours until firm and set.
- Once chilled, lift the fudge from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and slice into bite-sized squares on a clean cutting surface.
- Serve and savor this delightful seasonal confection, celebrating the festive Easter spirit through a decadent sweet treat.
Notes
- Customize your fudge by selecting colorful Easter candies like Robin’s Eggs, Cadbury Mini Eggs, or Reese’s Eggs for vibrant, playful textures.
- Prevent chocolate from burning by microwaving slowly, stirring frequently, and watching carefully during melting process.
- Create dairy-free alternatives by substituting white chocolate chips with vegan chocolate and using coconut condensed milk for a inclusive treat.
- Elevate presentation by using pastel-colored sprinkles or edible glitter to enhance the festive Easter theme and make the fudge more visually appealing.
