Ingredients

Units Scale

Fudge Base

  • 3 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tbsp salted butter

Coloring and Toppings

  • Pink food coloring
  • Purple food coloring
  • Blue food coloring (teal recommended)
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow bits
  • 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan
    Line an 8ร—8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Set Up Coloring Bowls
    Place three separate medium-sized bowls on your countertop, each with its own stirring spoon. These will be used to mix the different fudge colors.
  3. Make the Fudge Base
    Combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salted butter in a large saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture becomes thick and glossy (about 4 minutes). Be careful not to overcookโ€”remove from heat as soon as the chocolate is melted.
  4. Divide and Color the Fudge
    Pour โ…“ of the melted fudge mixture into each of the three bowls. Quickly mix pink food coloring into one bowl, purple into the second, and blue into the third.
  5. Layer and Swirl the Fudge
    Using a ยผ cup measuring cup, scoop alternating colors of fudge into the prepared baking pan. Once all the fudge is in the pan, use a knife to gently swirl through the colors without overmixing to maintain a vibrant, distinct marbled effect.
  6. Add Toppings
    Sprinkle marshmallow bits and rainbow sprinkles over the fudge. If necessary, gently press them into the surface to help them adhere.
  7. Set and Serve
    Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours or until completely set. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper, cut it into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Storage Tip: Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to one week.
  • Swirling Tip: For neat swirls, use the edge of a butter knife and move it gently through the colors in a figure-eight motion.
  • Coloring Advice: Gel food coloring works best for vibrant hues without over-thinning the fudge mixture.
  • Alternative Toppings: Instead of marshmallow bits, you can use white chocolate shavings or small candy pearls for an extra magical touch.
