Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Easter Candy Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup pastel-colored M&Ms, mini marshmallows, or chopped Reese’s Eggs (or your favorite Easter candy pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal after the fudge sets. Having your pan ready helps the fudge firm up evenly and cuts smoothly.
  2. Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently and continuously until everything is melted and the mixture is smooth. This slow, gentle melting prevents burning while creating a creamy blend.
  3. Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract to provide a warm, complementary flavor that balances the chocolate and candy.
  4. Mix in Easter Candy: Gently fold in your chosen Easter candy pieces. This adds colorful pops and festive texture to your fudge.
  5. Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm to the touch.
  6. Cut and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper edges. Cut into bite-sized squares and enjoy, share, or gift your festive treat.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate chips for better flavor and texture.
  • Stir continuously while melting to prevent burning.
  • Do not skip chilling time to ensure clean cuts and optimal texture.
  • Add candy mix-ins after removing from heat to prevent melting.
  • Line your pan well to ease fudge removal and get clean edges when cutting.
