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:
-
Add white chocolate chips, butter, and condensed milk.
-
Stir constantly until completely smooth — be patient; white chocolate scorches easily.
-
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.

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.
