White Chocolate Fudge for Valentine’s Day

First, you will need to gather your ingredients.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• white chocolate chips or melting wafers
• sweetened condensed milk
• vanilla extract
• salt
• red food coloring 
• valentine’s day sprinkles

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

PREPARE HALF OF THE FUDGE: Combe half of your white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Microwave for 25 seconds and stir well. Return to microwave and heat in 20-second increments, stirring in-between, until the mixture has a smooth consistency.

TURN IT PINK: 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! You could also use pink gel food coloring for a very bright pink color fudge.

ADD PINK FUDGE TO PAN: Once you reach your desired color go ahead and spread the fudge mixture evenly into an 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper.

LET IT COOL: 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.

PREPARE THE WHITE FUDGE: 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 fudge over the pink fudge.

ADD SPRINKLES: 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.

SET: 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 your Valentine’s Day fudge tightly covered at room temperature.
