Easy Lucky Charms Fudge (Printable)
Creamy white chocolate fudge loaded with colorful crunchy marshmallows for a whimsical party treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 3 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
→ Mix-ins & Topping
04 - 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows (separated from cereal)
05 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt
# How To Make It:
01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang on opposite sides for easy removal later.
02 - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until completely smooth and melted, about 5 minutes.
03 - Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
04 - Let mixture cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent marshmallows from melting. Gently fold in 1 cup of Lucky Charms marshmallows until evenly distributed.
05 - Pour fudge mixture into prepared pan. Use spatula to spread evenly into corners and smooth the top surface.
06 - Sprinkle remaining ½ cup marshmallows evenly over fudge surface. Gently press down with spatula to adhere without pressing them completely into the mixture.
07 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely firm and set throughout.
08 - Lift fudge from pan using parchment overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares with a sharp knife.
# Expert Tips:
01 -

- Low heat is nonnegotiable here white chocolate seizes and turns grainy if it gets too hot

03 -
- Work quickly once you remove the mixture from heat as it starts setting up faster than you expect
- Reserve the biggest heart shaped marshmallows for the top so they look extra festive
