Valentines Fudge Ingredients

This section includes ingredient notes and substitution options. Get all measurements, ingredients, and instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Valentine's Day Fudge Ingredients: white chocolate chips, heart sprinkles, can of sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and red food coloring.

White Chocolate Chips – We used white chocolate chips, but feel free to use white chocolate melting wafers for a smoother texture.
Sweetened Condensed Milk – Be careful not to grab a can of evaporated milk accidentally as they are often beside each other on the shelf.
Vanilla Extract
Salt – A pinch enhances the flavors. Salt can be omitted, if desired.
Food Coloring – We used just a little bit of red good coloring to get the festive pink color. You could also use pink gel food coloring for a very bright pink color fudge.
Sprinkles – Add a playful and colorful touch. Grocery stores and big box stores often stock pink and red and/or heart-shaped sprinkles in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day. If you can’t find any in-store, ordering this Valentine’s Day sprinkles variety pack on Amazon may be a good option.

You will also need an 8 x 8 baking dish or pan and parchment paper for lining.

How to Make Valentines Fudge

This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

Step 1: Combine half the white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Microwave in short bursts, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.

Step 2: Stir in vanilla extract and 2 drops of red food coloring. This should give your fudge a nice pink color. You can add more drops of food coloring if you would like to give your fudge a deeper color. If you add enough food coloring it will turn red, which would work for Valentine’s Day too!

Step 3: Once you reach your desired color go ahead and spread the fudge mixture evenly into an 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Set the pan aside and allow it to cool for 30 minutes. This will ensure that the two colors of fudge don’t mix together.

Step 5: Repeat the first steps (combining ingredients and microwaving) to prepare the 2nd half of the fudge. Stir in the remaining vanilla extract, but this time do not add any food coloring. Spread the white chocolate mixture over the pink fudge.

Step 6: Sprinkle generously with Valentine’s Day sprinkles. I like to lightly press them into the top of the fudge ever so slightly to help them stick.

Step 7: Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill until firm. This should take about 2 hours. Once set, slice into squares and serve.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Just be sure to keep it in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

To freeze, wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer baggie or freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Tips for the Best Valentine’s Day Fudge

Opt for high-quality white chocolate for smoother melting and better taste.
Stir regularly while microwaving to prevent burning and ensure even melting.
Allow the fudge to set thoroughly before cutting to achieve clean slices.

Berry Swirl: Gently swirl in 1-2 Tablespoons of raspberry or strawberry jam on the top layer before adding sprinkles for a fruity touch.
