Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate chips or white chocolate bars chopped into pieces.
• If you prefer a more intense pink, add food coloring gradually and taste as you go to avoid overpowering the flavor.
• Try adding crushed peppermint candy or chopped nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Before serving, allow refrigerated fudge to come to room temperature for the best texture. You can also freeze the fudge for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different pan size?

Yes, you can use a different pan, but adjust the thickness and setting time accordingly. A larger pan will result in thinner fudge, which may set faster, while a smaller pan will make thicker pieces that take longer to set.

Can I make this fudge without a microwave?

Absolutely. You can melt the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk over a double boiler on the stovetop, stirring frequently until smooth. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
