Fudge Base
- 3½ cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tbsp salted butter
Coloring & Toppings
- Pink food coloring
- Purple food coloring
- Blue food coloring (teal recommended)
- ½ cup marshmallow bits
- 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Set Up Bowls: Place three medium bowls with separate stirring spoons on the countertop, ready for dividing the fudge mixture and adding colors.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture is fully melted, glossy, and thick, approximately 4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
- Divide Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly pour one-third of the warm fudge mixture into each of the three prepared bowls.
- Add Food Coloring: Immediately stir pink food coloring into the first bowl, purple into the second, and blue (or teal) into the third until evenly combined.
- Layer the Fudge: Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the colored fudge alternately into the prepared baking pan to create layers of different colors.
- Create Swirls: Gently swirl the colors together using a knife, taking care not to overmix to maintain distinct color contrasts.
- Top With Decorations: Quickly sprinkle marshmallow bits and rainbow sprinkles over the top, pressing lightly if needed to ensure they stick before the fudge hardens.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for 2-3 hours until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Store fudge covered at room temperature for up to one month.
- Freeze individual pieces wrapped securely for 3-4 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Line pan with parchment paper sprayed lightly with cooking spray for easy removal; avoid foil as fudge may stick.
- Warm your mixing bowls in the microwave before adding the fudge mixture to prevent it from cooling and hardening too quickly.
