Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- 11 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream
- 1 cup pastel M&M’s candies
- 1 bag (10 oz) Hershey’s chocolate eggs (candy-coated milk chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Combine White Chocolate and Marshmallow: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream. Set aside.
- Cook Sugar Mixture: In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the butter, heavy cream, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Combine Mixtures: Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot sugar mixture over the white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream. Use an electric mixer to blend for about 1 minute, or until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Candies: Gently fold in the pastel M&M’s candies and Hershey’s chocolate eggs using a spoon.
- Set and Cool: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Immediately top with sprinkles and any additional candies. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2 hours, or overnight.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips.
- If the fudge is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cutting.
- Once set, cut the fudge into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For longer storage, place the uncut fudge in a gallon-sized ziploc freezer bag, squeeze out all the air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
