Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (16 ounces / 454 grams) container vanilla frosting
Candy Mix-ins:
- 1 cup Butterfinger baking bits
- 1 cup mini Reeses Pieces
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare an 8×8-inch pan by lining it with foil or parchment paper, ensuring extended edges for easy extraction.
- Combine white chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan, melting over low heat while stirring constantly until smooth and uniform.
- Remove metal lid from vanilla frosting and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring to create a pourable consistency.
- Incorporate warmed frosting into the melted chocolate mixture, blending thoroughly until achieving a silky texture.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 5-7 minutes, periodically stirring to prevent premature solidification.
- Fold in Butterfinger baking bits and mini Reeses Pieces, distributing evenly throughout the fudge base.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula and gently pressing additional candy pieces on top.
- Let the fudge set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster solidification, approximately 1-2 hours.
- Once fully cooled, lift the fudge using foil edges and slice into 36 uniform squares for serving.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate to maintain optimal texture.
Notes
- Prep Hack Ensure the foil or parchment paper covers the entire pan surface smoothly to prevent any uneven fudge texture.
- Melting Magic Use low heat and stir constantly to prevent chocolate from burning or becoming grainy, creating a silky smooth consistency.
- Flavor Boost Experiment with different candy combinations like crushed Oreos or caramel chips to customize the fudge’s taste and texture.
- Storage Tip Keep fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for extended freshness without compromising its creamy texture.
