Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) white candy melts
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (40 grams) miniature marshmallows
Flavor and Color Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) bubblegum flavoring
- 4 drops pink food gel color
Decorative Topping:
- Pink sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt candy melts, milk, and butter in 40-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each heating cycle until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy.
- Introduce vanilla extract and bubblegum flavoring to the melted base, then incorporate pink food coloring, stirring until the color is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour approximately one-third of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, creating an initial base layer. Fold marshmallows into the remaining mixture, then carefully spread this marshmallow-infused layer over the first layer.
- Generously sprinkle colorful confetti sprinkles across the surface of the fudge, ensuring even distribution for visual appeal and added texture.
- Refrigerate the pan for 2-3 hours, allowing the fudge to set completely and firm up. Once chilled, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 16 uniform squares.
Notes
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust the bubblegum flavor intensity by gradually adding the extract, tasting as you go to find your perfect balance.
- Marshmallow Magic: Gently fold marshmallows to prevent them from breaking, maintaining their fluffy texture throughout the fudge.
- Color Control: Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant pink hue without thinning the fudge mixture.
- Storage Savvy: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
