Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate chips for a traditional chocolate fudge base. The flavor will be different but equally delicious with the Easter candy mix-ins.

Why did my fudge turn out too soft?

This typically happens when the mixture doesn't properly set. Make sure you're using the correct amounts of ingredients, particularly the sweetened condensed milk. Also, ensure you're allowing adequate time for setting—overnight is best.

Can I make this recipe without a stovetop?

Absolutely! You can melt the chocolate, condensed milk, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth, then proceed with the recipe as written.

How far in advance can I make this fudge?

This fudge can be made up to two weeks ahead if stored properly in an airtight container. It's actually ideal to make it at least a day ahead to ensure it sets completely.

Instructions

Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the fudge from sticking and to make it easy to lift out later.
Melt the Base
In a medium-sized pot, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Place the pot over low to medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Mix in the Candy
Remove the melted mixture from heat and stir in 1 cup each of Easter M&M’s, Easter Shimmery Whopper Eggs, and sprinkles. Fold gently until evenly combined.
Pour into Pan and Decorate
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly into all corners. Top with the remaining M&M’s, Whopper Eggs, and sprinkles to create a colorful surface.
Set and Cut
Allow the fudge to set on the counter overnight to fully harden. Once hardened, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 1-inch squares for serving.

Notes

White chocolate can burn easily, so be sure to stir constantly over low to medium heat for a smooth result.
You can substitute Easter-themed candies with other colorful candies for a year-round treat.
Leftover fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing fudge is also an option; just wrap the squares individually and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
