Ingredients

Base

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Mix-Ins (What gives the colorful look!)

  • 3 cups mini marshmallows (rainbow or regular)

  • ½–1 cup chopped nuts (optional: walnuts, pecans, almonds)

  • ½ cup chopped dried fruit or candied fruit (optional)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prep the pan

  • Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.

  • Lightly grease the paper.

2. Melt the fudge base

In a medium saucepan over LOW heat:

  1. Add white chocolate chips, butter, and condensed milk.

  2. Stir constantly until completely smooth — be patient; white chocolate scorches easily.

  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.

3. Add mix-ins

  • Let the mixture cool 3–4 minutes so the marshmallows won’t melt.

  • Fold in mini marshmallows, nuts, and fruit until evenly distributed.

4. Pour & set

  • Pour the mixture into the lined pan.

  • Smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until firm.

5. Slice & serve

  • Lift out the block using the parchment.

  • Slice into bars or cubes.

  • Store in an airtight container (refrigerated or at room temp).

Servings

Makes 16 large squares or 32 small bites.

Notes

  • For clean slices, use a hot knife (run under boiling water, wipe, cut).

  • Colored marshmallows give the exact look shown in the photo.

  • Letting the fudge cool slightly before adding marshmallows stops color bleeding.

  • You can make this up to 1 week ahead — it keeps beautifully.

Variations

✔ Swap white chocolate for vanilla almond bark
✔ Add crushed graham crackers
✔ Add chopped gumdrops for a very vintage style
✔ Mix in Rice Krispies for crunch
✔ Add orange extract for creamsicle flavor

 Q&A

Q: My fudge turned grainy. What happened?

A: White chocolate overheats easily. Keep heat very low and stir constantly.

Q: Can I freeze it?

A: Yes! Wrap tightly and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge.

Q: My marshmallows melted — why?

A: The base was too hot. Let it cool slightly before folding them in.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?

A: Use dairy-free white chocolate and coconut-sweetened condensed milk.

Q: Why didn’t my fudge set?

A: Too much condensed milk or not enough chilling time. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
